On the morning of July 6, authorities ordered the evacuation of 600 residents due to the ongoing "threat of secondary detonations," Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said. He did not provide further details.

It's really unlikely that these strikes left behind UXO, the far more reasonable explanation for this is as well as the only thing which can explain the sheer scale of the explosions is that the location struck contained a large quantity of munitions or other explosives.

Inb4 liberals claim it was the only fireworks store in Ukraine. (Pyrotechnics have been illegal to own, sell, buy, distribute, or use in Ukraine since the Maidan coup.)

quiet suburb

mushroom cloud

just kept detonating

That "quiet suburb" is doing a lot of work hiding an ammunition dump

Hiding weapons and ammo in civilian residential areas is a war crime, btw. Not that it matters to anyone in the West, they'll turn a blind eye to any crime or genocide if it's done by the side they support.

If this was Israel doing the strike, the title would be "50 dead after Hamas used the basement of an apartment block to hide missiles" or something.

a quiet suburb

this article tells that "facility did not belong to Ukraine's Armed Forces"

what did people in a quiet suburb store with the capacity to make a huge explosion like that?
