He shared the information on Espreso TV.

"Near Mariupol, in the former Novoazovsk district, it was spectacular - a Russian ammunition depot exploded. Around 02:02-02:12 a.m., a strike hit the site, and the detonation lasted over two hours. The blasts were heard as far as Novoazovsk and even beyond Taganrog, approximately 40 km away. The blaze was visible from afar, too. This must have been an enormous ammunition stockpile, as two hours of detonation suggest something very powerful," commented the head of the Center for Occupation Studies.

Andriushchenko added that efforts will be made to learn about the aftermath of these explosions later.

  • Petro Andriushchenko, the head of the Center for Occupation Studies, has said that Russia is trying to ramp up recruitment in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
  • The Center for National Resistance reported that Russian occupiers in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine failed to meet their recruitment targets.
