Great research work by @Aviation_Intel and @FranticGoat about the potential operational capabilities of Ukraine's longer range Grim-2/Hrim-2 ballistic missile system.

Donetsk
Some theories on this, the Russians have been firing 9M22S incendiary rockets over neighboring Mar'inka over the past few weeks. They control Donetsk so this may have been some sort of munition failure. Or it’s Ukrainian, but they haven’t really been seen using incendiary stuff.
Location, viewer is looking west towards the river, the spread of the falling thermite makes me think it came from the north or east.
