21 days ago. Also, from what I’ve seen/read, the SAA didn’t abandon equipment like the Afghan Army did when Taliban advanced.
That’s incorrect, the SAA did abandon a ton of equipment, I think over 200 SAA tanks, including over 60 T-72s and 6 T-90s, were captured by various rebel factions undamaged. Over 900 pieces of equipment abandoned in total.
Pictures are real, It’s a ex Syrian Arab Army ammunition depot being hit and exploding, a large number of secondary explosions of all the weapons stored there caused such a huge blast. Rockets stored there cooking off and flying in all directions probably caused the civilian casualties, there were multiple videos of rockets flying and impacting far from the initial blast. Ammunition stored at a large depot like that can cook off for hours or even days afterwards.
I did a write up on it here, finding the potential facility struck on Google maps
