[Iran Press TV] Three huge blasts have rocked the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk on the day when the country's army and pro-Russia forces were expected to begin implementing a new truce plan.The powerful blasts occurred Saturday at a military plant in the pro-Russia held Ukrainian city of Donetsk.
"There was a direct hit at the No 47 industrial explosives shop, where some explosives were present. It detonated and caused another kaboom. Luckily it didn't hit the main storage facility where we have some 2.5 tons of explosives," said Ivan Prikhodko, deputy chair of the local community council.
He added that while the incident caused considerable damage, nobody was hurt.
The plant was reportedly used for manufacturing explosives and ammunition as well as for dismantling unwent

The kabooms occurred just as a Russian humanitarian aid convoy was unloading relief supplies in the city. Some 200 trucks carrying 2,000 tons of aid crossed the Ukrainian border earlier on Saturday.
On Saturday, government forces and pro-Russia fighters were due to pull out their troops from a 30-kilometer buffer zone agreed on during talks in the Belarusian capital Minsk.
Based on the deal, all feuding sides will withdraw their forces 15 kilometers from frontlines and monitors from the European Security Organization, OSCE, will monitor the area. Pro-Russian groups will also keep their hold on Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
