Quote from Fedorov: "At night, the Armed Forces of Ukraine delivered a crushing blow to the yet another military base of the invaders in Melitopol.
Enemyʼs air defence units were unable to intercept our missiles, as a few weeks ago, the invaders relocated the main part of the air defence to the Kherson Oblast."
Details: The mayor said that a few minutes after that, the Russians fired a rocket from the former Yakymivka district, hitting residential buildings near Ukrainska and Hertsena streets.
One resident was injured and is in the hospital, and 10 houses were damaged.
