Grenade launcher as in 40mm or grenade launcher as in RPG?

That’s a lot of fire too, most rounds aren’t intended to produce fireballs, as it’s a waste of energy. Thermobaric round? Or maybe some kind of fuel stored near there?
100% not fired by anything handheld. That explosion is way too large.
My guess is tank shell or arty round and out of those two I’d pick tank shell.

He definitely shot his under barrel grande launcher. My guess is some sort of crazy secondary.

Reminds me of the Tom Hanks vs tank scene in Saving Private Ryan.

Reminds me of that scene in Saving Private Ryan when when Tom Hanks is firing at that tank with his pistol and it blows up..

Explosion comes outwards? Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. My initial thought was a tank round. But after reading comments about the scarcity of tanks in that region. I’m thinking a well placed rpg round, through a window and into an ammo cache? There are well documented accounts of improvised explosives used by both sides when assaulting bunkers, basements and urban areas. Perhaps this is one/a few of those popping off after a well placed rpg shot?
That’s my armchair theory anywhos!
