Major explosion in Makiivka, near occupied Donetsk
A powerful
explosion in occupied Makiivka, Donetsk Oblast, can be seen in numerous
videos circulation on social media on the evening of July 4.
The footage, however, does not feature any secondary detonations, suggesting that a local oil depot was set ablaze.
Subsequently, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have also released a statement regarding the Makiivka explosion. According to their information, an enemy supply depot was completely destroyed.
"The effective firepower of the Defense Forces has eliminated another depot belonging to Russian terrorists in the temporarily occupied Makiivka," the Stratcom of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said in a Telegram post.
Earlier on July 4, Telegram channels from Crimea reported a loud explosion in the center of Sevastopol.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
