Details: According to Russian propagandists, a large fire broke out at an oil depot in the Budioniv district of Donetsk after shelling.
"Fire can be seen in several districts of the city - the flames are a few dozen metres high. Tanks containing fuel and lubricants are on fire," TASS writes.
The Strategic Communications Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine declares that "the preparation for this ‘performance’ in Donetsk was very thorough, which is why they have got such a ‘bright’ result."
The Strategic Communications Department does not specify what exactly is burning - they ironically say that "saltpetre and humanitarian aid" burned so brightly, and "pillows and mattresses exploded for so long and loudly that almost the whole city could hear and see them."
