A massive explosion rocked the Russian-occupied city of Irmino this evening, Thursday, December 15. It is believed that the Ukrainian military possibly made a direct hit on an ammunition depot located in the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic territory.
Video footage uploaded onto social media shows a huge blast occurring, lighting up the night sky as it explodes. Local sources online have speculated that the strike took out a warehouse storing munitions for the Russian army. One user said they had geolocated the location as about an hour east of Bakhmut.
