On Sunday, explosions heard in occupied Melitopol, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, turned the city into a war zone. Russian media reported that the explosions occurred at the airport and in the area of the Avtokolorlyt factory, where the Russians have established a military base. The first explosion was heard around 14:00 and was also felt on the southern outskirts of the city. Then powerful explosions occurred at the airport and in the Avtokolorlyt area where military bases are located. "Probably at least three missiles hit the target," media outlets wrote, as thick smoke rose from three places at once.
Melitopol residents also reported three explosions near the village of Pryvilne. The explosions in the temporarily occupied city of Melitopol were confirmed by the Russian-appointed mayor Vladimir Rogov. "The Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a missile attack with five HIMARS missiles on this city in Zaporizhia Oblast," Rogov said, claiming that all five missiles were shot down by air defense.
Rogov reported a second "powerful explosion" around 17:30. "A column of smoke is again rising on the northern outskirts of the city. Initial reports point to another missile attack," he wrote. He reported that almost all areas of Melitopol were without electricity on Sunday evening, with interruptions in water supply and communications. We look forward to your comments on developments.
