Blaze engulfs Berdyansk factory Russian forces use as equipment stockpile

Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov reported this. 

"It is a popular sign that if black smoke is billowing on the occupied land, something hostile is probably burning," he wrote.

According to Fedorov, the locals did not hear the sounds of explosions, but they saw the Russians bringing in equipment.

"This time, it is burning heavily in the still occupied Berdyansk. According to preliminary information, it is on the territory of one of the enterprises. The locals did not hear the sounds of explosions, but the day before they saw something: how the Russian forces were bringing their military equipment to the seized workshops," the statement says. 

• Explosions were heard in the temporarily occupied Crimea on Wednesday, August 23. A Russian long-range and medium-range S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile system was destroyed at a military facility on Cape Tarkhankut.
