Explosion in Donetsk / False Flag?

Early reports of a large explosion in Donetsk are now being attributed to a car bombing that Russian media is calling a ‘terrorist attack’.

This seems likely to be the ‘false flag’ that U.S. and European officials were warning about a few days ago that Russia would try and use to justify an invasion.

State Department says evacuation announcement in the Donbas and reports of an explosion in Donetsk are false flags from Russia: "…further attempts to obscure through lies and disinformation that Russia is the aggressor in this conflict. "
