Details: Berdiansk Siohodni said early reports indicated the strike was on the territory of the Azovkabel plant.

At the same time, Berdiansk City Military Administration confirmed the destruction of  occupiers’ positions.

Quote: "Regarding the latest cotton [explosion – ed.]. Yes, our soldiers hit Russian positions in Berdiansk. Many occupiers became Cargo 200 [dead]." [Russian propaganda, initially refusing to use the word "vzryv" (explosion), used "khlopok" (a bang) instead. However, "khlopok" also means "cotton", and this has since become a meme – ed.]

Background: On Saturday morning, local residents reported explosions in the centre of occupied Berdiansk, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

Berdiansk District Council confirmed a hit on the premises of the Khimik recreation centre, where Russian troops were deployed.
