On July 28, explosions were reported in the temporarily occupied Donetsk city. The building of the "Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Donetsk People's Republic" (DNR) may have been targeted, according to local Telegram channels.

Users report that the center of the occupied city was hit.

Footage is also being published, presumably after the strike on the "Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Donetsk People's Republic" (DNR) building.

There is no information reported about casualties and injuries.

The situation in Donetsk

Russian invaders occupied Donetsk back in 2014. However, recently, there have been more frequent explosions in the city. Strikes have been recorded on gatherings of Russian troops and their ammunition and equipment depots.

It's worth noting that Ukrainian officials and military units only target Russian occupiers and do not attack civilians.

For example, on July 13, locals reported a "strike" in the area of the "Topaz" plant, which was involved in the development of long-range radio-technical reconnaissance and early warning systems for air defense in Donetsk.

Additionally, on July 4, powerful explosions were reported in the occupied cities of Donetsk and Makiivka. Following effective fire, another Russian storage facility in Makiivka ceased to exist.
