May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one

I'm hearing it was a building containing, possibly manufacturing fireworks. That's a big boom regardlessOriginally Posted by Whiskey_Bravo

Different angle:

Something is on fire beforehand. And sparkles in the smoke plume which could be the fireworks angle.

Wow. Thats a lot of fireworks. Surprised they have such a large hazmat type facility that close to what appears to be densely populated area. Maybe it’s a illusion wrt distances and video.

The silos on site tell me that they are storing some sort of solid material, meaning not a flammable or combustible liquid but powder or granules. Could be fertilizer, remember West Tx? Could also be starch or sugar, both can cause deflagration or detonation depending on the conditions.

That is freaky.
Those videos showed an initial massive fire that's been burning awhile before that cloud/puff of white blast and then the huge explosion. That's why there were so many videos from different angles. People were filming the fire. That white puff was weird. Looked like windows from a mile away were blown out. Got to be hundreds of casualty.
Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

So is a rocket without a warhead still considered a "Firework"?
I'm having a difficult time thinking people would really want to see a firework display in a Country so troubled by war.

CNN reported "The director of the general security directorate later said the blast was caused by 'high explosive materials confiscated years ago,' but did not provide further details.
The red color ought to give some clues.
