The invaders' henchmen were voicing their annoyance with the noise in the local Telegram channels. Meanwhile, Petro Andriushchenko, an adviser to the mayor of the Ukrainian city, reported that the enemy was shelled.
So, around 11:20 a.m. on Tuesday, pro-Russian publications in Mariupol began to write about the explosions in Russian-occupied Dzhankoy and Mariupol.
The explosions could be heard from the village of Manhush:
- "Boomed",
- "The car alarm went off in the yard. "
- "It was heard in Manhush",
- "It [the sound] is so strong in Primorsky,"
- "On the 23rd",
- "It's well-heard in the port," they echoed.
At the same time, the occupiers claimed that "anti-aircraft defense is working" in the Mariupol area and also called on residents to "keep calm" and "stay in shelters."
"Ooooo! The ambulances are going to the scene. Good. The Manhush district! They say you have it?… Wow. From air defense to ammunition disposal. The stage of acceptance? Russia, what's with your face?" people were joking about the occupying forces on the Ukrainian Telegram channel "Mariupol.Sprovyt".
For his part, Petro Andriushchenko reported on targeting the occupiers in the Manhush part of the Mariupol district.
Back then, the supporters of the occupiers reported on ambulances racing in the opposite direction on Kuprin Street in Mariupol.
"Good. We are waiting for details and a possible photo report," added the city mayor's advisor.
Later, the official emphasized that the sounds of detonation can still be heard near Manhush, which he called "the process of demining of the ammunition warehouse."
