It is an artillery shell factory, or at least storage for them. That's why a lot of artillery shells got launched out of the explosion. Like the one in the video below.

They rented a warehouse to a fireworks company.
There were no drones or missiles.
Wishful thinking for team zelensky.

They rented a warehouse to a fireworks company. Thanks for sharing the Russian talking point. Why would a "fireworks" company have artillery shells?

You’ve got to be careful storing those metal pipes. The Russians should have taken precautions.

I believe the poster meant artillery shells as photographed in post 20.

When I saw that it looked just like the stuff they shoot from cannons here for fireworks in our neighboring community.
And I already replied. They look like military stuff but they are professional grade fireworks.

What is the source of the photo?
Russians are very open about saying when they were attacked.
Ukraine has not claimed this as an attack.
Maybe it’s just a bunch of freepers all worked up over nothing.
The usual zelensky loving crowd.
Wishing and hoping, but this time it was not Ukraine.

I was in the artillery, it looks like an artillery round to me and it doesn’t look like a firework.

LOL, take a look at the "artillery shells" shown in the website at your link. They aren't actual metal artillery shell casings complete with the sealing rings.
What do you think would happen if you actually launched real steel artillery shells up in the air during a fireworks show?
They would come back down, and damage anything they hit.
Fireworks are not launched in steel shells with the sealing rings artillery rounds have.
To: freeandfreezing
Ok. Where is the photo from?
