 Exilenova+

On the afternoon of August 26, a series of powerful explosions rocked occupied Donetsk. According to preliminary reports, one of the city’s districts was hit by a series of rocket strikes.

Exilenova+ reports this.

According to local social media groups, at least 13 strikes were recorded in the occupied city. Eyewitnesses are posting videos showing heavy smoke in the areas where, according to them, the strikes occurred.

It is speculated that one of the possible targets could have been the command post of the Russian 51st Army, which is participating in combat operations in the Donetsk sector.

Information is circulating online that “Flamingo”-type missiles may have been used in the strikes.

We also note that in Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod region, an attack on the Kstovo oil refinery has been reported. A series of explosions rocked the refinery’s grounds, followed by a massive fire.
