There is another flash, in the flag-post area, right before the bigger explosion (so some users think it is a strike by grenade launcher). More details collected on another video, several craters and explosions, remains of a rocket in one of the craters, said to be S8 COM, unguided air-to-ground missile. Ukrainian version of MANPAD homing on air conditioner is discussed and rejected (multiple craters, no air conditioners and locking on it is not going to occur according to expert interviewed). Tree tops are cut, supporting aerial bombardment version.
