The situation in Donetsk
Donetsk has been under occupation since 2014; however, recently, there have been more frequent incidents of explosions as the Ukrainian Armed Forces target concentrations of enemy forces and their logistics.
For example, on August 24, fires were reported due to explosions at a shop on Panfilova Avenue, and damage was reported at the Vyshnevsky Hospital.
Explosions occurred in the city center on August 23, and on August 14, there were reports of a "visit" to the occupiers in the area of the Topaz plant.
