Quote from Fedorov: "The occupiers are restless in Melitopol district again. Last night was heated for them in the village of Svitlodolynske in Melitopol district. Locals counted approximately seven powerful explosions. They had seen smoke rising from near a railway bridge. We hope that the invaders have one less way to transport equipment now."
