New explosions in Mariupol

This was announced by Petro Andriushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, on Espreso.

"There is information about explosions today, that air defense systems were hit near Mariupol. Let's hope that it is so, but we still need to verify the info. It will take some time for obvious reasons. As soon as "heavenly punishment" happens, the regime is immediately intensified, they close off everything. It is not very easy to confirm this on the spot and fact-check, but we will definitely get this information," he noted.

He added that this information will be passed on to our military to understand the results.

"To what extent it’s public will also depend on this. The very fact that there was definitely a detonation means that something has definitely gone wrong with the Russians. It’s the same scenario that happened with the first big explosion - at first air defense was working, then the air force was involved, and the explosions continued. Let's hope that the consequences are even greater than last time," Andriushchenko said.
