The factory was used for storing ammo and weapons, obviously a whole lot of it since the explosion was so strong that it also damaged the shopping center which is at quite a distance, about 400m judging from Google Maps:
That little pond is where it says Misky with the green marker at the top, the shopping is the white object with the big red marker at the bottom, the big factory in between:
Speaking of Google Maps, by the morning they had still not changed the Permanently Closed label for the shopping center, but at noon it said Open in order to suggest the shopping center had not been permanently closed for 3 months
You need to assemble it when all sources lie. Take your pick: CNN, BBC, the Guardian, Times, Fox etc are not news sources anymore than RT is. They’re propaganda machines. And you have to be naive to read anything from them at face level.
The truth is the truth. It is either true or it isn't.

I disagree.
These companies are profit making enterprises, not government mouthpieces ... and they are also rivals. There is no incentive for them to agree on anything.
If they DO agree on something it's not because they are coordinating their stories. There is no incentive for that.
They want the 'scoop' ... they would like to be the first with the facts. They would prefer to be seen as the most reliable source for news. So the incentive is to present facts, before any of their rivals. They are also incentivised to point out when their rivals have effed up, and they are incentivised to avoid being caught up in something that can be proven wrong by a competitor.
So when you see these news sources agree, you can be sure that they don't want to necessarily agree and fairly certain that they are all independently investigating the facts with the same result.

And their reporters don't have to serve 15 years in prison if they report something their Govt doesn't like.

That is unfortunately not the case. Those media are aligned with Washington. Especially with regard to foreign politics. Here is an interesting video showing one of the alignment ways:
Here is a very good thread from Michael Kofman.....Director, Russia Studies at CNA. Senior Adjunct Fellow, CNAS. I follow Russian military capabilities, operations & strategy.
A few thoughts on the current course of the war. The Russian offensive grinds on in the Donbas. Both sides have made incremental gains, neither is near collapse, but equally, both lack the forces for a major breakthrough. Thread. (Will use some of Nathan's maps) 1/
