Quote: "Tonight powerful blasts rocked Melitopol, they were heard all over the city."

Details: Early reports indicate that a Russian military base was hit; the Russians have been trying to restore this base near the airfield for a while.

"The collaborators immediately reported to their ‘older brother’ [i.e., Russian authorities – ed.] that their air defence systems were activated. They were so ‘activated’ that smoke is still rising. But if that’s how the Russian army’s air defence works, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will definitely be able to get to [the Russians] as promptly as possible," Fedorov wrote.
