Explosive-laden jet ski near Istanbul, allegedly Ukrainian, not a working maritime drone — Defense Express
This was reported by the Mariupol mayor's adviser Petro Andriushchenko.
"Mariupol. Explosion at 11:20 Kyiv time. The epicenter is Kalmius district," the statement said.
According to preliminary information, the explosion took place at the Ilyich Iron and Steel Works of Mariupol, where the Russians' base is likely to be located.
Later, invading Russian forces raised their aircraft into the sky: "An unusual sound is reported from the north of the area. Perhaps some new modification of 'mopeds' (ed. - Shahed drones)."
