The Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) Headquarters does not confirm the fact of explosion at an ammunition depot in occupied Donetsk, which allegedly occurred yesterday, however, it suggests that probably something was burning there, ATO press officer Leonid Matiukhin said on 112 Ukraine TV channel.
"There was a lot of information that an ammunition depot, a chemical plant exploded in Donetsk. In fact, we only know that one of the militant units was located on this plant, and we know exactly what the unit was. They arrived there until October, as well as machinery and heavy equipment, a lot of ammunition and the corresponding weapons. We know for sure that after 21:00 Kyiv time, fire trucks appeared at the scene. Something has definitely happened, but it is clearly impossible to say for sure that there were many casualties among the militants," he said.
