In Makiivka, a town seven miles east of Donetsk, overnight footage showed a 'monstrous explosion' at a major Russian ammunition depot in the town, likely destroyed by Ukraine in a HIMARS strike. Russia-installed officials said one civilian died and 36 civilians were injured in the attack, according to local reports. This was not independently confirmed. Ukraine's military said it had destroyed a formation of Russian forces, and that an ammunition depot had also been destroyed, according to reports. Video of the depot's destruction came after Kyiv said its counteroffensive against Vladimir Putin's forces has been 'particularly fruitful' in recent days, and as other clips from the frontlines emerged showing brutal trench combat. Kyiv has admitted that its progress has been slowed by Russian defences, with Putin's forces laying mines across swathes of land in order to prevent Kyiv's tanks from making the same rapid advances that were seen this time last year. Mines are also a serious concern away from the battlefield, with Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky accusing Russia of placing the explosives at the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station and of plotting to stage an attack there. #dailymail #ukraine #russia Original Article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic...
