A powerful explosion rang out north of the temporarily captured Melitopol, where the Russian occupiers had located a military base.
The mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, reported this on Telegram.
"Melitopol residents in the north of the city report the sound of a powerful explosion," the message reads.
Preliminary evidence suggests that an event has occurred in the hangar of the village of Zarichne, which has been converted to act as an enemy base.
The details are being clarified.
For reference:
In settlements under the temporary occupation of the Russian army, explosions are often reported. Usually, explosions occur in places of concentration of human resources, equipment, and ammunition depots of the enemy or on a railway.
It should be noted that on July 4, powerful explosions rang out in occupied Donetsk and Makiivka. Then our fighters hit another formation of the occupiers in Makiivka.
On the same day, in the temporarily occupied Sevastopol, an intense explosion was heard due to the detonation of ammunition at the training ground.
Also, on July 2, an explosion occurred near a military airfield in the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation. A large funnel was formed at the place of the blast.
And on the evening of July 1, Melitopol, temporarily occupied by the Russian military, heard a loud explosion near the enemy's military base.
Today, July 9, loud explosions rang out in the temporarily occupied Crimea. The Russian invaders announced the "shooting down of a cruise missile" in the Kerch region.
