To those wondering if this is a thermobaric weapon - I'd be surprised.
There is however, a BIG chemical plant in Cherasky (49.37255043846523, 32.062424261174456) and a decent sized fuel farm (49.399434974678215, 32.134640178332596).
The particularly impressive shockwave you see in this is in majority caused by moisture in the air - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation_cloud.
Further info in identifying thermobaric weapon detonations from an earlier thread follows:
"Wrong type of bang. Thermobaric explosions such as from a TOS-1 impact look remarkably similar to conventional explosives - the giveaway is usually that they 'linger' more - a 'slower' explosion if you will. Its subtle but noticable.
All those saying its too small - wrong thing to focus on. Thermobaric weapons come in all sizes, down to grenade-launcher rounds.
Updating post with more info for better visibility - copied from a reply below.
Here's some decent impact footage where the fireball is not too obscured. Notice how it does not detonate/expand with the same sort of violence as HE impacts.

Essentially what you are seeing is the deflagration, or deflagration-to-detonation transition of a very rapidly expanded cloud of gas/fuel being ignited. They generate a much longer-duration shockwave which is particularly effective at damaging structures. The next footage of a US fuel-air weapon (another name for thermobaric weapons) in slow motion shows the fuel cloud dispersal prior to ignition - using the oxygen in the air as the oxidiser.

The TOS-1 (and most other systems) have a much faster dispersal to ignition time than the dropped weapon shown, these contain fuels that do have an oxidiser component, such as ethylene oxide or proplyene oxide. I'm unsure as to the exact composition used in the TOS1. (its worth noting that the TOS1 had a fairly short range, originally about 2700m, but that was improved to 6km or above)"

Det ser ut som ett, behöver ju inte vara.
