This photo taken on Sept. 27, near Kalynivka shows explosions at a military munitions depot. Ukranian authorities evacuated nearly 30,000 people September 27 from the central Vinnytsya region after a huge munitions depot caught fire and set off artillery shells and blasts prosecutors were treating as an act of "sabotage". It was the second major incident affecting a Ukrainian weapons storage site this year. Kyiv blamed the first one in March on Moscow and its Russian-backed insurgents fighting Ukrainian forces in the war-wrecked east - a charge both sides denied.
