Ukrainian defense forces have struck Russian military equipment and ammunition depots in the occupied part of Vasylivka in the Zaporizhzhia region, according to Ivan Fedorov, mayor of Melitopol.
"After the explosion in Melitopol near the motor plant, where several Russian officers were eliminated and the commander of the 58th army was wounded, the occupiers are still clearing the wreckage of their headquarters," the statement reads.
Fedorov mentioned that in the Vasylivka district, not far from the front line, there was an explosion that hit Russian army equipment and ammunition depots. The detonation lasted for several hours.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces also launched strikes on areas where the occupiers were based in the vicinity of Pryshyb village. The Russians fled across the field and tried to salvage what remained. According to Fedorov, the more attacks on the occupiers, the stronger the terror they unleash.
Strikes on the occupiers in Melitopol
On September 19, the mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, reported at least five loud explosions in the city. The most significant of these occurred near the Avtocolorlit plant.
Shortly after, the AFU StratCom confirmed the strike at the Russian military headquarters. However, the exact location of the headquarters was not disclosed.
Today, RBC-Ukraine sources within the Security Service of Ukraine said that the SSU and Ukrainian Armed Forces targeted a Russian secret base in temporarily occupied Melitopol. As a result of the missile attack, there were injuries among the Russian commanders.
