The situation in the Zaporizhzhia region
Zaporizhzhia region is partially under Russian occupation since the start of the full-scale invasion. The occupiers regularly launch attacks on the territory controlled by Ukraine.
Explosions in Berdiansk
The Russians captured Berdiansk in the Zaporizhzhia region during the early weeks of the full-scale invasion. They have modified the city port into their military base.
However, explosions have been heard in the occupied city recently, and there were reports of an attack on the Russian military bases.
