"Internet resources are spreading information about the blast, which occurred on Kurchatova Street in Enerhodar in the morning of May 22, 2022. All the circumstances of the incident are being investigated, but we have received an accurate confirmation that the self-proclaimed head of the 'people's administration', Shevchyk, and his bodyguards were injured in the blast," Orlov wrote.
