Explosions in the Russian-occupied area

In the past few months, there have been frequent explosions in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. Most of them are linked to the actions of Ukrainian troops who target enemy positions, equipment, and ammunition depots.

On August 2nd, explosions were heard in the center of Melitopol. Details of the incident remained unknown at that time.

A few weeks ago, there were reports of four incidents in the temporarily occupied Tokmak.
