Explosions heard in Donetsk, local administration building on fire

This morning a series of explosions has rocked the temporarily occupied city of Donetsk, and a local administration building has caught fire.

The relevant statement was made on the AFU StratCom’s Telegram channel, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“In the temporarily occupied Donetsk, there is ‘bavovna’ [an ironical euphemism for explosions – Ed.], and a fire in a local administration building. This is what ‘smoking near gas cylinders’ leads to. Local residents say there has been another ‘clap’, smaller in size,” the report states.

A reminder that, between February 24, 2022 and October 16, 2022, Russia’s total combat losses in Ukraine reached about 65,000 troops.
