Ukraine’s military command: a hidden weapons arsenal exploded in the Donbas
A hidden arsenal of weapons exploded in separates-held territory of the Donbas, resulting in two militants killed and one injured, as reported by the press-service of the Ukrainian military command on Facebook.
It is reported that on April 27, ammunitions detonated in the positions of the separatist 9th Motor Rifle Regiment in the Donetsk region due to violations of fire safety standards.
"A powerful explosion led to the partial destruction of the positions… The scale of destruction and the size of the arsenal are indicated by the enemy’s use of an unmanned aerial vehicle to establish the scope of the damage,” the headquarters of the ATO reports.
According to intelligence, the militants stored ammunition that was hidden from Russian supervisors and was not recorded.
"In a classic scheme, militants transferred responsibility for the explosion to the ATO forces, particularly to the elusive Ukrainian secret subversive group that quietly mined the positions… The regular investigation was personally controlled by the commander of the 1st Army Corps who arrived at the scene yesterday,” the statement of the Ukrainian military command reads.
As reported, earlier, Ukrainian intelligence revealed the arrival of another group of Russian mercenaries in the Donbas.
