Puzzle by Trevor Ball. Part of the After the Blast series.
Some munitions, typically artillery projectiles, mortars, and rockets, can cause distinct craters that can indicate where the munition was fired from.
Determining the point of origin for artillery can help identify the perpetrator of an attack.
When combined with the range of a type of munition (e.g. 155mm artillery projectile) an area to search to find the specific firing point can be quickly determined.
What is the name of the pictured street (omit вулиця, lane, etc)? From which direction was the munition that caused this crater fired? Answer format: Шовковична, West
