Massive Explosion Reported Off Ukraine Coast Near Contested Mariupol
Moments ago, according to local press, the simmering east Ukraine conflict just escalated substantially following what are reports of a massive explosion off the Ukraine coast near heavily contested Mariupol - the key city which stands in Russia's way to make a land bridge from Russian territory to the recently "Russianized" Crimea.
As Interpretermag reports, citing Mariupol news site 0629.com.ua, there has been a powerful explosion in the Azov sea, south of the city.
Residents of the Primorsky and Zhovtnevy districts told the site that the explosion occurred at around 12:00 (10:00 GMT), shaking windows in their homes.
Dmitry Gorbunov, a press officer for the ATO headquarters in Mariupol, told 0629 that the blast had occurred beyond the 20-mile zone off the Ukrainian coast, in territory controlled by the Russian Federation.
There are no reported casualties amongst the Ukrainian navy or border guards. An investigation is under way.
Indicatively the explosion took place in the area highlighed, appropriately enough, by the mushroom cloud.
And this is what according to local media outlets the explosion looked like.
And then there is this, which one should however take with a mine of salt:

More if we get it, although considering the news does originate from the Ukraine, we would not be surprised if this is nothing but the latest creative use of photoshop.

Bullish.
car bomb detonated by remote control drone
Peace and JUSTICE baby!
The weather channel said, "Light clouds with a chance of shelling..."
OK who farted?
green arrow on the fart joke!! Who put something in my flalaval?
Must have had a hell of a shock wave sarc
Check out the bird!
It was the last shred of Barry's reputation as a Messiah imploding.
It's morning in America!
Very bullish.
It looks like (perhaps as some kind of threat/message) a mini-nuke was set off, as for the Beirut Barracks Bombings in 1983, the Oklahoma attack in 1994, the 911 (underground) and the Bali bombings. Look it up.
.
USG is in free fall. Their "foreign relations/explosion" policy is freaking out. Ukraine doesn't even have enough money to buy NG, let alone drop $500,000 bombs. This is so stupid to even give any amount of credibility that there is a war going on. This is the US using Ukraine as its excuse to inflict PR damage against Russia, and it's not working at all.
Watch the US blow something else up, real soon. Something needs to happen to catalyze the numb into backing a plan.
Nope.
It was clearly a large explosion, but it was not the result of nuclear fission.
There are telltale indicators that go along with the detonation of that type of
device, none of which have been reported (and I don't mean in the media).
If this explosion was the result of nuclear fission, you would know. At a minimum
the international shit storm would be deafening.
Well there was no outcry for those previous probable instances I've listed. But granted, it's too early to tell, especially since the mushroom cloud picture doesn't seem legit.
Exactly check out the bird
Somebody released that Kracken.
The Ukrainaken.
pic doesn't look remotely right for "20k" off the coast.
Well there was no outcry for those previous probable instances I've listed.
That's because those 'probable instances' were no such thing.
You lower the tone around here, which I assume is your purpose. Go troll Veterans Today or something, Gordo sees mini-nukes going off every other day and I'm sure he'd love to have you there to confirm his 'facts'.
So Big Jim,should we read Haaretz?
Next up for the lulz: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/
Anyone bring a Geiger counter to this lovefest?
The lucies are blowin' shit up. It is their favorite pastime.
You can clearly see a dragon flying in the photo. The only question is whose side is it on???
Dragons love gold, bitchez!
lmao. That's Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon.
Listen.
This is an exceptional comment!
Krugman dressed in all black & Keynesian face paint, along with PNAC Neocon, Nuland-Kagan, seen on surveillance cameras, running together, immediately prior to explosion.
In other news, NO MENTION OF GRUBER'S ADMISSION THAT OBAMACARE WAS FRAUDULENTLY 'SOLD' TO AMERICANS BY OBAMA ADMINISTRATION BY OBAMA WATER CARRYING MEDIA.
Listen TIS.
You nailed it with "ANOTHER" excellent comment!
TruthInSunshine
Yes, very curious that hardly anyone is taking note of Gruber (and Obama) faking us "stupid Americans" out. Liars all.

All the near misses will surely lead to disaster sooner or later. A bigger, wider war becomes more likely everyday
Dozens of “near miss” incidents have brought NATO and Russia to the brink of war
By Alex Lantier11 November 2014
According to a report published yesterday by the London-based European Leadership Network think tank (ELN), there have been at least 40 “near misses” in which the Russian military and NATO forces, sent to Eastern Europe following last February’s far-right, NATO-backed putsch in Kiev, came close to military conflict.
The ELN writes that NATO-Russian relations since March 2014, have been in “a situation in which mistrust, fear, and shortened leadership decision times characterize a volatile stand-off between a nuclear-armed state and a nuclear-armed alliance.” The report continues: “To perpetuate that reality in the circumstances described in this report is risky at best. At worst, it could prove catastrophic.”

"Dozens of “near miss” incidents"
So neithe side admits to it's Miss rate ?
Wouldn't a "near miss" in fact be a hit?
"You nearly missed my Battleship."

all as planned. if you or i had a say this would all be over in a heartbeat and merica would retreat to its legal boundries and start the dismantalling of hundreds of military bases and the withdrawl from nato and distancing via monetary starvation the imf(fraud). wow, i can fucking dream outloud...
more propaganda to get the people worked up for a war, just like it is always done.
the western MSM are all singing from the same CIA controlled sheet, similar wording in articles all publisehd at the same time...
Russian warplanes flying in international space - well what's so wrong with that?
"NATO forces, sent to Eastern Europe" - well try moving them back.

More interesting stuff.
Sheikh Imran explains the Ukrainian crisis by exposing who created the Soviet Union (and what for), who really brought Communism, why Crimea and Donbass regions were given away to Ukraine, the main goal of NATO expansion, and the role that the Zionists play in all of this.

Ok. I got the photo. Tell Ivan to turn off the smoke machine . . .
Doesn't NATO have an agreement with Ukraine to give it military support?
Fine example of the value of paper promises.

I think you missed the part a few months back where the Uke army forced its way into the city because it wanted to be part of independent Donbass region.
Mariupol is large majority against current Kyiv occupiers.
Hoo boy, all sides in this crazy place need to take deep breath!
Sit down please to table with vodka and pickles and have rational talk.
Forget those crazy Americans who act like barbarians on interweb, always trying to stir up trouble with their Obama this and McCain that.
They are crazzzy, I tell you! They think they understand what goes on here.
They know nothing, I say. Nothing.
Could be Photoshopped.
But what's interesting is the different colors of the cloud. The highest portion to the left is black....as if it struck something petroleum/carbon based. Then there is the white.....usually water based or steam. Then there are the faint tendrils of copper coming out of the cloud on the right. Heavier particulates falling out of the sky/cloud. Could be other petroleum based items going up in smoke....could be parts of the bomb or the explosives in the bomb. Could be remains of the rocket fuel if this was a missile and not a bomb.
There's info in that smoke if this is real. Anybody else care to give a guess?
Sweden finally found that sub they where looking for and destoyed it ?
And what's the price of oil now. .........?
take your pick of materials in a chemical plant/factory. There's more oxygen in the subsequent fires than the initial explosion, giving you a darker primary and whiter ongoing plumes, generally - as I understand it, I could be wrong.
I see a seagull in the picture.
Ever see a seagull poop, wow.
I do like the twitter pic of some kind of missile launcher at some kind of show and tell event at some undisclosed location.
Thats practically a carved in stone fact one the state dept sees it.
Already proven to be fake (whodafunk)

Exactly the same smoke column, even the bird is in the same place.
What a bunch of idiots who make this shit up. They aren't very good at it.
Additionally, if the 'explosion' happened more than 20 miles offshore, the smoke column would be out by the horizon, not near the city as shown in the photo.
but they will continue, as long as there are lower idiots who believe....
it is always the same, only worse
How was shit like this settled before America had to stick it's nose in the business of others?
Oh yeah, By the arguing parties slugging it out until there was a victor and vanquished.....
Ah, the good old days.
Interpreter Mag is run by Michael Weiss a Neo-Con propagandist for the Neo-Con rag Foreign Policy (WaPO) . Michael Weiss and Interpreter mag specialize in anything anti-russian. Weiss's propaganda hit pieces in Foreign Policy show no shame.
On the Ukraine, Interpreter Mag lies and so does Weiss.
More lies and photoshop bullshit coming from the US / EU puppets in Kiev!
Damn, another boating accident.
Long WTI then?
Larry the Cable Guy just out there fishin with dynamite again.....nothing to see here....resume BTFATH.

i expect to see someone handing out cookies in Hungary very soon.
It go boom.
I remember when I was a kid I could buy m-80's off the firecracker stand that were nearly as good. Now we have assholes running the country that are so bad that we aren't allowed to have such things anymore. You know........gota protect the precious children.
Dude, M-80s were never a good idea.
Best firework ever.
We once lit off a half stick. Not an M-80, not a quarter stick, a half.
Dropped it off a floodwall into some bushes on the riverbank. Concussion rolled up and down the river. Blew about a 10' diameter clearing of bushes.
M-80's were really fun. You could still think of them as fireworks. After that size, the line between firework and explosive got fuzzy.

I had a neighbor who owned a demolition company.
Every Fourth, he would put on a show that invariably ended with him lighting a whole stick and blowing a hole the size of an SUV in his yard.
The festivities came to an unfortunate end when he blew half his arm off while drunk as a skunk.

Do Ukrainians Speak Russian or Ukrainian?http://russia-insider.com/en/politics_ukraine_culture_society/2014/11/11...
That map is about right. Of course Kyiv propaganda claims otherwise.
Russian is used even more in business.
All Ukraine families I know of in Kyiv and area use Russian and tell this fact.
One easy proof is look sites where Ukrainian Ladies post profiles for marriage introduction.
Listings predominately show Russian, minimum Ukrainian.
do you ever take a break from being a RED SHILL !!! it must give you some cramping in your jaw muscles !!
You are mistaken
The "Reds" are running Kyiv.
better worry about your own country
ignorant goat
(In case you are wondering, to convert to Ukrainian, you take Russian and
replace ‘y’, ‘o’ and ‘e’ with ‘i’, ‘i’ with ‘y’, and ‘g’ with ‘h’.
To convert back—you ask a Russian.)
The media group that created the Kiev Post offered a range of magazine titles in Russian and Ukrainian when it first set up business some years ago. It soon ceased publishing all of its Ukrainian-language publications for lack of interest. The Russian ones remain (as well as the English-language Kiev Post).
It's misleading when the MSM says Ukraine is 70% Ukrainian and 30% Russian. Ethnically, perhaps (although I know loads of people in Ukraine and Russia with Ukrainian last names who don't speak a word of UKrainian and identify thorougly with Russia; so how to classify them when it's by no means clear there is any meaningful ethnic distinction between the two grousps anyway?) But linguistically, the country is more than 90% Russian speaking, with considerably fewer Ukrainian speakers (especially in the south and east of the country.)
A Ukrainian nationalist friend of mine from Lvov who now lives in Kiev told me how frustrating she found it when she would go into a shop or restaurant in Kiev and speak in Ukrainian only to be answered in Russian. She said the only place in Kiev where Ukrainian was spoken was in the president's cabinet.
Kursk type incident? Perhaps the vaunted Russian navy has just shot itself in the foot with most spectacular results.
I would not be surprised if this was a Russian sub having a major malfuction while attempting an ordanance launch.
Mariupol is on Sea of Azov, most shallow sea of world. Maybe 15 meter deep max...
How you imagine Russian submarine there?
from the website for the port, "and can accomodate vessels 240 meters in length and draft to 8 meters". 25 feet.
Don't the 'Legion of Doom' have a base somewhere in this area?
Zoom in on the picture and look where the blast cloud meets the horizon. Once you comprehend the scale of the detonation you won't be making glib comments.
PHOTOSHOP !!! duh !
Be nice if it was a hoax. I'd wager a missle sub being hit by a torpedo could make a detonation that large.
You'd think explosions would just be white noise by now in Ukraine.
What is the relevance of the library photo of a SAM system on the truck? You can see that the photo was taken at an equipment exhibition, there are even banner stands describing whats in the show in the photo. And the show could have been in China or Germany for all the relevance. Why does anyone repeat the spurious lies being told by Kiev?
Why? To mess with your mind, that's why.
Out of interest in self-preservation, a growing number of beings seem to be catching on.
that was just soros letting off some gas in the general direction of the russians.
Casey Research has yet another interesting piece on Cold War 2.0 at
Breakfast with a Lord of WarBTW, I'm certainly not saying it was a nuke, yet. Could'a been an old WWII mine? ...some boys havin' a little fun with a 40 gallon barrel of agricultural fertilizer? ...guesses about as good as any lies we're likely to hear.
I think that's Donestsk, and I think the photo is from a few weeks ago.

Not even close. Two completely different explosions.
Iskander fired an SS-26 w/ High Intensity Frangmentation Warhead?
Remember the Mainskivitch!
The news embargo on eastern Ukraine suggests that Kiev is up to some warcriming... had Ivan invaded, etc. it would be front page of the Times.
I know people come down strongly pro or anti Russia or Putin, but that aside, it is curious that our Nobel winning leader isn't aggressively pushing peace talks that allow for some sort of federation in Ukraine to essentially keep it intact but allow the eastern provinces serious automony.
The reason, of course, is likely money and/or fossil fuels underneath the soil. Nothing new there, but the best thing that could happen, apart from arresting and trying Ukraine's batshit fascist oligarchs, would be if the entire Ukrainian army walked off the job, leaving matters transparently to the private militias, CIA contractors and assorted Polish mercs. Then, I think, you'd see the average Ukrainian taking back their revolution (Yanukovich was, by all accounts, a crook, but he was simply replaced with an IMF/NATO puppet).
Fake?... Maybe?... But these sure as hell probably aren't!...
Nemo, what's with the link wants an email@. Isn't that fishing?

MH-18?
Mariupol is one of the major ports for the Donetsk industrial region. Donetsk is a coal exporter, and I think and oil and natural gas importer.
As pointed out in an earlier post, the black plume at the top is probably carbon/energy-based. The lower clouds are probably steam/dust.
They blew up something (a tanker?) that was a energy depot by water. Since this is well into separatist Ukraine, probably the Ukr/Kiev government, or their State Department pay masters.
Look this and date: http://www.mnogovbloge.com/?p=7177&lang=en
The headline of that article makes it sound as if the separatists caused the explosion, but the body of the article reads as if anti-separatist partisans blew something up. Interesting, that it is dated last month.
Thanks for the link.
It was a Russian sub... they served RED CABBAGE to the crew and it was Kabooom once the vodkas started to go down ... Very explosive to eat too much FARTY carbs and mix with overproof vodka ... it was a senseless tragedy ...
hopefully you Russian Shills will spread the word not to mix your drinks and save many lives... or Fart and it'll be your dooooooooooooom !
I'd like to know what "Russianized" Crimea means as the story states.
Everyone knows that Crimea is Russian. Crimea has been Russian longer than California has been American. The majority of people in Crimea are Russian and overwhelmingly 97% voted to join Russia, which they wanted to do even back in 1994, but the government in Kiev prevented them from doing so. Of course they didn’t want to be controlled by the illegal, U.S.-funded junta in Kiev, instituted by political organizations given five billion dollars by Washington, as revealed by “fuck the EU” Victoria Nuland. Ukraine was broke, and political parties and organizations were vastly financed by foreign nations, (US & EU) which then encouraged them to foment a coup. The junta in Kiev then illegally deposed the democratically elected president, and then illegally deposed all of its governors. The Crimean’s had every right to secede.
Crimea was detached from the Russian Republic in 1954 by Nikita Khrushchev after a drunken dinner and given as a grand (but then empty) gesture to the Ukrainian Soviet Republic. Khrushchev was a Ukrainian Communist party boss who had participated in Stalin’s murder of 6-7 million Ukrainian farmers.
