Dramatic moment shows explosion hit Russian administration building in Donetsk

This dramatic video shows the moment an explosion went off directly outside a Russian administration building in Donetsk, Ukraine.

In the video, we see a point-of-view from inside a vehicle driving along the road. Moments later, a huge explosion is triggered near the right side of the vehicle, outside a building.

This footage was allegedly shared on the social media website Telegram by a local journalist, showing the moment of the explosion.

As the explosion happens, the driver of the vehicle swerves around it and continues driving along the road.

The footage seems to indicate that something strikes at the location from above, dropping down and exploding on impact.
