An unknown quantity is the identity of the battery's operator. It's most likely the Russians given the use of 9M22S elsewhere including Kharkiv, but it can't be excluded that the 'Donetsk People's Rupublic' controls it. They have their own Grads. pic.twitter.com/LefinZjcyn /16

This would be consistent with the number and area of the individual submunitions seen in the videos. One rocket can disperse over an area of 80 x 80 m (6,400 sq m). Three rockets would account for 540 submunitions, which looks about right for the videos. /9

Nobody has claimed responsibility for the attack. The local separatist government in Donetsk has issued a statement claiming that Ukrainian forces fired three Grad rockets into central Donetsk. /8 https://

This wasn't a single rocket gone astray. Videos giving a wider view show a lot of submunitions falling, though not as many as would be expected from a full salvo of 40 9M22S, which would disperse 7,200 submunitions. /6 pic.twitter.com/wgY8PT3W2S

The latest thermite attack, however, raises some puzzling questions. It appears to have targeted the capital of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). This is the first incendiary attack I've seen against a Russian or separatist target in this war. /5

Multiple videos shows thermite incendiaries falling on densely populated civilian areas of central Donetsk – a clear war crime, as such munitions are banned from usage against civilian targets. But this incident raises more questions than answers. /1 pic.twitter.com/EW9Hj5RShE

“The legend of the skies did not survive the Russian onslaught on Kyiv. It was ruined in the earliest days of the all-out war at its home airfield of Hostomel, which became a hot battlefield as Russians sought to seize it.” https://
