23:20 Message from an eyewitness:
It certainly may not be MLRS, but then it is very difficult to explain why a glow around can be seen in the sky at a great distance in addition to fire. This, perhaps, would be similar to damaged and flaming gas pipeline. What can burn there, in one and the same place - it is not clear. But something is definitely powerful. Therefore, though, I tend to version of MLRS. If I had high-power binoculars, I could say something more definite. But this distance is too great for the eyes of an ordinary person to tell anything.
I will not be surprised if tomorrow they begin to "burn" again on schedule.
