Helicopters are burning at the Taganrog airfield
According to Petro Andriushchenko, an adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, helicopters are burning at the Taganrog airfield after an explosion.
"Russians are indeed systematically using the Taganrog airfield to base helicopter units, but not only them. Air defense systems, equipment to be transferred to Ukraine - all this is systematically deployed there," Andriushchenko said.
