Just a little 🧵 looking at the aftermath of the strike on the ammo depot @ Raiske, Cherson Oblast, Oekraïne which seems to have happend on 18-7 at 5 am.When looking @ the video clearly missiles and thermobaric charges can be seen detonating

#SlavaUkraini

At 5 am presumable HIMARS rocket fire hit an ammonutions storage warehouse located at a 🇷🇺 military facility in #Raiske [46.42567 33.18566] seen on sat. images the facility consisted of 6 large warehouses and several smaller structures, just west are an urban area & wheat factory

When looking @ Nasa #FIRMS data from 18-7 it's clear there are mulitiple fires around the south and west sids of town. The fires can be located at 3 places. The first attack hit the ammo storage, fires to E & S were prob. started by exploding ammo & spread thru dry fields.

There was a third fire approx 2.5 km to the north was detected serveral hours after the first hit [46.442006 33.165538] I believe this to be a secundary target which probably was a rally point for surviving troops & equipment from the military facility.

On the following #Sentinel image the destruction can clearly been seen. The whole military facility has been destroyed and all fields south and west are burned to for at least 300 m. One only can imaging the damage done to the adjecent urban areas.

As can be seem on FIRMS data from the 19th fires are still burning around the area. A conclusion can be made from this & the #NovaKakhovka explosions that a large part of 🇷🇺 MLRS supplies in this area were destroyed which will impact action of these units.
