Quote from Andriushchenko: "More shooting in the city. Assault rifle and machine gun bursts in the night. [These are] the consequences of believing one's own gossip about the numerous subversion and reconnaissance groups (SRG) of Ukraine that drove into the city. In fact, a civilian car of the Russian military, which changed its licence plates to Ukrainian ones, came under "friendly fire". Unfortunately, no losses. But we like the trend."

Details: In addition, at about 22:47, there were two loud explosions near the exit from the village of Nikolske. The occupiers are convinced that their air defence system was activated, and it downed a UAV, but according to Andriushchenko, "there is no confirmation of the activation of the air defence system."

According to the mayor's adviser, the Russians are endangering the residents of Mariupol with the increased movement of military equipment.

Andriushchenko noted that on the evening of 6 September, more movement of equipment was detected in the city: "Giatsint self-propelled guns [moved] along Metalurhiv Avenue towards Berdiansk. [There are] new markings on the equipment."
