A video published on social networks shows the terrifying moment when a Russian bomb explodes in the middle of the city of Vovchansk, northeast of the Kharkiv region.
According to reports on "Telegram" channels, this bomb is the ODAB-9000, considered the largest non-nuclear bomb with a payload of 9,000 kilograms of explosives.
The city, even before the bombing, looks like a skeleton, destroyed by fierce fighting.
However, some others claim that the bomb was the ODAB-3000, thermobaric.
The Ukrainian military says the bomb is not a DOAB-9000 as such a bomb requires strategic aircraft to drop, and radars have not picked up any aircraft movements over the area.
Russia reportedly used massive FAB-9000 aerial bomb in Vovchansk.
