Amateur video shows explosions and fire lighting up the night sky above an ammunition depot in Ukraine. This was in the early hours of October 9 near the town of Ichnya, some 180 kilometers east of Kyiv. About 12,000 people were evacuated from homes nearby but there were no reports of injuries. Ukrainian officials said they are probing potential causes, including possible sabotage. Ukrainian government forces have been fighting Russia-backed separatists further east in the country since 2014.
