On December 16, there was another "cotton" in the temporarily occupied Donetsk. After a powerful explosion, a column of black smoke rose into the sky.

The explosions in the city were reported by local publics. It is reported that Ukrainian soldiers delivered the "cotton" to the same area where an oil depot was burning brightly the day before.

In local chat rooms, city residents are discussing the powerful explosion. Some people are trying to convince themselves that it was not the sound of an arrival, but rather a "supersonic transition of the plane," as Russian propagandists often explain explosions.

Meanwhile, the footage of the massive fire in Donetsk that began to appear online refutes the exotic version of "supersonic".

Meanwhile, social media reported that the attack hit an oil depot, possibly the same one that had been on fire the day before. According to another version, the Russian occupiers' base was hit.

In particular, journalist Denys Kazansky notes that the fire is now burning in the Budyonovskyi district of the city.

"In the Budyonovskiy district of occupied Donetsk, the occupiers' military base was hit. A strong fire has started, the smoke from which is visible in different parts of the city," the report says.

"A fresh attack on the base of the racists and their fuel and lubricants depot in Donetsk is confirmed," added Kazansky's colleague Andriy Tsaplienko.

Earlier it was reported that explosions occurred in occupied Donetsk and an oil depot caught fire. The explosions, which led to a fire at the facility, occurred in the evening of December 15.
