HUGE explosion as Ukrainian forces blow up Russian weapons warehouse

THIS huge explosion is the result of Ukrainian forces blowing up a Russian weapons and ammunition warehouse in southern Ukraine, causing a massive shockwave.

The night-time images show a massive explosion taking place in the distance, behind an urban area full of houses, with the footage ending as the shockwave from the explosion appears to reach the person filming after a few seconds.

Other images, filmed from slightly further away, show the night sky being lit up by the explosion, with the person filming taking cover as they are reached by the shockwave as well.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine said that they have destroyed the warehouse, reportedly containing Russian weapons and ammunition, in Nova Kakhovka, a city in the central Kakhovka Raion region of Kherson Oblast, in southern Ukraine
