Quote from Fedorov: "Tonight, it is restless in Kyrylivka: explosions were heard at 3:00 and at 5:00.
After the successful attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on military bases in Melitopol and Myrne of the Melitopol district, the occupiers began to shift their military equipment – including to Kyrylivka.
They hoped that neither our HIMARS nor the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the resistance movement would catch them there. But someone certainly found them."
Details: Starukh reported that at 6:30 Russians forces launched a missile attack on the territory of Zaporizhzhia Oblast that lies on the demarcation line and near the city of Zaporizhzhia.
According to the head of the Oblast Military Administration, the occupiers continue to raid civil infrastructure facilities. Thus far, no casualties have been reported.
