A video of an explosion in the city of "Cherkasy Oblast", south of the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, was published on social media, which turned the city's night into day as a result of Russian air strikes.
However, observers of the military situation gave their role in explaining the reason for this huge explosion. Some of them said that Russian President Vladimir Putin may have used the “father of bombs.”
While others claimed that he might have struck with a thermal bomb, while a third party said that the explosion might have been the result of targeting weapons and missile stores for the Ukrainian army.

Hours ago, the British newspaper The Independent published a report in which it talked about the Russian pyroelectric missiles, “the new weapon that Putin may launch at Ukraine.”
She said that among the Russian weapons that were seen moving towards the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, and other cities, were "TOS-1" missiles, which are thermal launchers, which are not used in precision strikes, but are used to "clear swaths of land", according to the newspaper.
How it works?
Experts have warned that Russia's military attack on Ukraine may move to a larger and more harmful stage if Russia uses thermobaric weapons to destroy Ukraine.
They emphasized that thermobaric weapons are among the most brutal weapons of war, and only nuclear weapons are more lethal.
According to the newspaper, these missiles are filled with high explosive fuel and a chemical mixture, and when they explode, they cause ultrasonic explosive waves, erasing everything in their path, including buildings and humans.
Piezothermal weapons are known as "air bombs" or "vacuum bombs".
