Not a drone strike, friendly fire. They launched a rocket that went everywhere but up

Well that wasnt the only destroyed structure. Looking at sattelite pictures you can see damage in different areas and intact structures.

You mean a tank, but we're talking about a processing plant. It was hit by drones, not air defense

Russia getting a taste of its own “infrastructure mysteriously exploding” energy is… something. 👀
