I’d like to know why are there were explosions?

The first much smaller than the second?

If you watched color footage of the strike, it is not the real strike. That is an air strike that occurred in Yemen about a year ago.

It is a Fuel-Air explosive. Basically a tank of liquid high energy hyrdocarbon that you first need to disperse to get the right air-fuel mixture. Then kerblooey.

They did strike a known ISIS munitions storage.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here -but might it just be because, when they hit the weapons stashes=the went "Boom"?
