Local militia has said that the plant was targeted by a tactical Tochka-U missile (SS-21 Scarab).RT’s team in Donetsk is trying to verify this information.When RT’s team arrived at the scene, they found a crater “about 10 meters (33 feet) deep,” he said. “We were caught up in sniper fire – there were at least three snipers working at the time,” RT’s reporter said. “We had to sit in that crater for about 15 minutes until it was safe for us to leave.”crater found by RT teamIt appears Kiev broke the ceasefire in a very big way!!!Likely that explains the lack of media coverage thus far.

A huge explosion has rocked the rebel-held city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, smashing windows over a radius of several kilometres and sending a vast mushroom cloud up into the sky. The blast occurred at a rubber processing factory full of chemicals, with numerous videos taken in the aftermath of the initial explosion showing further, smaller bursts of flame.
The plant lies in a rebel-controlled area on the outskirts of the city Not much in the way of western media coverage...... Like I said, maybe Kiev has to get it's official conspiracy in order. Or wait until the State Department gives 'instructs' them on how to spin this.

Looked and sounded like one hell of an explosion with a huge crater produced.A lack of western mainstream media news articles is very noticeableAre they, the lying corporate warmongering media, waiting for their talking points before reporting on this?
