Geolocation of the Russian ammunition storage targeted this morning.

P.S I’ve done all of it from my smartphone.

In the video above we see this tall tower and a stripped chimney.

I’ve geolocated this (coal power plant ?) to the outskirts of Luhansk.

📍 (48.5537600, 39.1763026)

A video reportedly from today shows civilians being evacuated from this location.

In the first video you can also see these apartment buildings. Geolocated here : (48.5616192, 39.2470060)

We also see this building in the background. Geolocated here : (48.5607219, 39.1952714)

By estimating the line of sight of the person filming, I drew a line to a possible location for ammunition storage.

In my opinion, it is likely that the place of the explosion is this industrial zone in the city of Rodakove (Родакове).

📍 (48.5502628, 39.0516728)

This place is about 70 km from the front line.

(Map is from @Liveuamap)

FIRMS shows two fire locations. One is approximately where I estimated the explosions occurred. The other is further west.

This matches other photos of the area.

After discussing this with a few people, I believe the explosions happened here : 48.5624465, 38.9441186

This lines up with FIRMS data.

Also, @idontwa86202030 pointed out that the industrial zone in Rodakove was destroyed a few years ago.

The smoke plume extends over 100km!

UPDATE : Not one but two Russian bases were successfully targeted by Ukraine.
