Explosion in the area of occupied Yelenovka, Donetsk region. The OSINT researcher DefMon geolocated it as being directly near the railway track. As another researcher Blinzka saw, apparently a Russian anti-aircraft missile exploded during launch (the launcher itself is similar to the S-300 air defense system). One can assume a manufacturing defect, which repeatedly appears in the Russian anti-aircraft forces.

it's hard to keep track sometimes of targets that Ukraine hits, versus when Russia hits itself

If you slow the footage down you can actually see the missile start to launch before it explodes.

Edit- autocorrect got me again
