Russian FSB officers reportedly discovered a large cache of 380 tons of smokeless powder (ballistite) in Donetsk, which had been stored in residential areas since 2014. The explosives were allegedly moved by DPR militia under the direction of Alexander Zakharchenko and later forgotten after his death.

The FSB reportedly found the explosives, which were still usable and have been transferred to military-industrial enterprises for use in missile production. The report highlights the potential danger if the cache had been hit by HIMARS or ATACMS, comparing it to the destruction in Vyshneve near Kyiv. The author expresses a belief that the FSB officers involved should be recognized for preventing a potential disaster.
