Quote from Fedorov: "The occupiers of Melitopol are smoking profusely in the area of the captured airfield. Loud explosions are heard, heavy smoke is visible." [Fedorov is referencing a joke by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who earlier advised the occupiers to "stop smoking where it’s not legit and start somewhere they haven’t been hit yet – ed.].

Details: What exactly happened to the occupiers is currently unknown. According to Fedorov, this information is being confirmed.

The mayor also posted a photo of the smoke over the trees.
