Huge explosion at Donetsk chemical plant, military ‘don’t know what they hit’
Windows
were shattered and homes shaken in Donetsk after a huge blast rocked
the vicinity of a city chemical plant. A Ukrainian MP praised
pro-Kiev forces for hitting a target – but said they “don’t
know what they hit.”
RT,

February, 2015
The
powerful explosion took place at 10:50pm local time on Sunday. Local
militia reported that a military chemical plant DKZHI was the target
of Kiev’s artillery shelling.
Witnesses
saw the sky lit up by the explosion, some nearby living residents had
their windows broken by the blast’s shockwave and many others felt
the ground shake, RIA Novosti reported. Even those living in nearby
towns said they felt the tremor.
“The
epicenter of the blast was near DKZHI,”
co-chairman of the anti-Kiev People’s Front Konstantin Dolgov said
on his Facebook page. The factory is known for producing chemical
products used for industrial explosives, ammunition and equipment
artillery bombs. This is not the first time the plant has been the
target of a Kiev attack. It was also hit with artillery rockets in
September and November.
The
militia forces would not immediately confirm if there were
casualties, either among militiamen or civilians. But they said the
fire, which started after the explosion, poses no threat of a
chemical spill, which is a cause of great concern at the plant, as it
handles toxic compounds in producing explosives.
“The
fire has been contained. There is not threat of chemical spill…
Most likely it was a high-caliber artillery shell,”
a local news outlet cited a military source as saying.
Ukrainian
military deployed multiple rocket system Smerch (the BM-30 Tornado)
to shell the area in the city, Boris Filatov, former deputy head of
the industrial Dnepropetrovsk Region and a member of the Ukrainian
parliament (Verkhovna Rada), said on his Facebook page.
According
to Filatov, the men who fired the missiles “do not know
what they hit because they were shooting based on coordвinates.”
Earlier,
Ukrainian far-right politician and paramilitary commander Dmitry
Yarosh, who is involved in the Kiev military action in southeastern
Ukraine, confirmed on his Facebook page that the explosion was caused
by Ukrainian artillery.
Yarosh,
who is wanted by Interpol
on charges of inciting terrorism, was elected to the Rada in October
2014. He played a key role in the protests on Maidan (Kiev’s
Independence Square), which led to the toppling of Viktor
Yanukovich’s government earlier that year. Back in May, the Right
Sector leader received less than 1 percent of the vote in Ukraine’s
presidential election.
Meanwhile,
the situation in southeastern Ukraine has been rapidly worsening
since January 18, when Ukrainian troops have launched a massive
assault on militia-held territories after an order from Kiev.
Shelling
of the rebel-controlled towns has been witnessed on a daily basis,
including the city of Donetsk, with both sides blaming each other for
violence. Meanwhile, the indiscriminate shelling of residential areas
by Kiev, at times with internationally-prohibited arms, has even been
confirmed by the Ukrainian government’s strongest supporter –
Washington.
John McCain, US Chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services, said Kiev used cluster bombs – claiming it’s because Ukrainian troops did not have better weapons delivered to them by the US.
Reports from Donetsk coincided with the latest report from the German intelligence service, which estimates the real losses in the Ukrainian civil war at 50,000 dead (civilians and servicemen). This reported figure is nearly 10 times higher than the death toll named by the Kiev authorities.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian crisis became the center stage of discussions as the world leaders commenced for the Munich Security Conference.
The latest breakthrough was announced on Sunday with plans for ‘Normandy Four’ format peace talks. The meeting may be held in the Belarusian capital, Minsk, as early as Wednesday, the German government said, following a phone call between Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French leader Francois Hollande.
