KABOOM!

Incredible moment rockets fizz across a Ukrainian city after an arms warehouse packed with ammunition and weapons was 'bombed by a drone'

• Military base was blown up in the early hours of Thursday morning in Balakleya
• Dramatic footage shows rockets shooting across the city and a giant fireball
• Authorities fear 'explosive device' may have been dropped on depot by a drone
• 20,000 people were evacuated and one person has been killed in the huge blast 

Dramatic new video has emerged showing rockets fizzing across a Ukrainian city after a massive explosion at an arms depot - amid claims the warehouse was bombed by a drone

The terrifying scale of the blast, which sparked a mass evacuation of 20,000 people in Balakleya, eastern Ukraine yesterday, is captured in new footage taken both from the ground and from above.

In one clip, a giant fireball can be seen climbing up above buildings while separate aerial footage shows how rockets were propelled across the city. 

Last night, Defence Minister Stepan Poltorak said authorities were considering a theory that the fire was caused by 'explosive devices dropped from an unmanned aerial vehicle'.
