Armed Forces of Ukraine demolished russian armoury, located in the quarry in Amvrosiivka, Donetsk region

OSINT-analyst Brady Africk posted on his Twitter a satellite imagery of destroyed by Armed Forces of Ukraine russian armoury. It was placed in Amvrosiivka, 60 km from the frontline. It happened between 8th and 21st August. Russian army placed it in the suburbs of the city in building materials quarry.

A marl field has been there before occupation in 2014. Marl is an earthy material rich in carbonate minerals, clays, and silt that is used as a soil conditioner and neutralizing agent for acid soil and in the manufacture of cement. Marl is being extracted in a open way, involving the use of explosives. Therefore, probably there were specialized storages for explosive. And a track to transport it. Russian army tried to be tricky in protection this time. Little did it help.
