A large ammunition depot exploded in the eastern Semenivka District of Slovyansk tonight.

According to unconfirmed reports originating from a local Ukrainian channels, a Russian DRG group managed to infiltrate the Semenivka District and caused the explosion.

I personally don't believe this to be true. The same channel reports that clashes could be heard after the explosions, which was likely mixed up with secondary detonations, which can sound similar from afar. The explosions were definitely heard by civilians living in the main part of Slovyansk.
