Bombing of Donetsk....Anybody see this


I don't know if it's true but it reminded me of the huge bomb that hit Baghdad in Iraq
Any other reports?

The explosion occurred west of Donetsk around 22:50 local time (20:50 GMT) and caused a shock wave that swept the city. In many parts of Donetsk felt a shock and detonation destroyed windows. According to the data of social networks, the explosion was felt even in the neighboring cities of Makeyevka and Gorlovka.

.As of 12:30 a.m. Monday, there was an on-going violent bombardment of Donetsk by cannon artillery and multiple rocket launchers.

As it turned out, the epicenter of the explosion was in the Kuibyshev region, near a Donetsk state chemical factory. The roar and the glow from the blast was so strong that it could be heard and seen are tens of kilometers away by residents of the Textilschik neighborhood.
