An explosion has rocked the city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine in what appears to be the start of Putin's long-awaited false flag operation. A Russian invasion of the country is expected to follow.
RIA Novosti, Russia's state news agency, was first to report the what it said was a car bomb that exploded near the headquarters of the separatist government on Friday evening. Subsequent images showed a fire burning in a car park and the wreckage of a military vehicle.
Russian media then reported the car belonged to Denis Sinenkov, head of regional seucrity in Donetsk, in what appeared to be an assassination attempt. State media did not immediately report anyone hurt or injured.
It came just hours after Denis Pushilin, head of the self-proclaimed People's Republic of Donetsk, and Leonid Pasechniky, head of the Luhansk People's Republic, ordered women, children and the elderly to evacuate immediately ahead of what they claimed would be a Ukrainian invasion. Kiev categorically denied this.
Taken together, the evacuation and blast appear to be the start of a long-predicted false flag operation orchestrated out of Moscow that is likely to foreshadow a Russian invasion of the country on the pretext of 'defending' ethnic Russians living there.
Ukraine on Friday called on the international community to condemn what it said were provocations by Russia in separatist-held eastern Ukrainian areas, saying that Moscow would only escalate the situation further if it did not.
