Situation in Berdyansk
Berdyansk, Zaporizhzhia region, located on the shores of the Azov Sea, used to be a popular tourist resort. The city was occupied by Russian troops in February 2022.
After that, the invaders decided to turn the city into a military base for their needs. Explosions are constantly occurring in the city, targeting the occupiers' locations of equipment and manpower.
A few weeks ago, the Ukrainian military attacked the occupiers' airfields in Luhansk and Berdyansk. As a result, nine Russian helicopters, an air defense system, and an ammunition depot were destroyed.
