Permalink Explosion rings out in densely-populated suburbs of besieged Donetsk

A Donetsk resident has uploaded footage of a massive blast next to an apartment block in the heart of the city. The eastern Ukrainian city, which has been under rebel control since the start of the armed conflict, has been encircled by government forces. The video, shot from the window of an apartment block across a courtyard, captures a momentary fireball next to a multistory development housing thousands of people. It is unclear from the footage whether the explosion is the result of an artillery shell explosion or a flash of gunfire. City authorities say that two people have been injured, and several apartments, gas pipes and cars have been destroyed by the government barrage, saying that residents of almost all areas in the city are within earshot of artillery fire. Authorities say that a nine-story residential block in the center city has been hit, though it is unclear if this refers to the incident witnessed in the video. "There is constant thumping that hasn't stopped throughout the day," reports RT's Paula Slier from Donetsk. "It is difficult to tell who is doing the firing. On the one hand you have the Ukrainian army vowing to take back the city, but these anti-government fighters are also very active and are saying that they won't let the city surrender." The Ukrainian Army has said that it plans to recapture the militant stronghold by the end of the week.
