Quote from Andriushchenko: "Yuriivka. Bavovna. Consequences. For now. A hit on the occupiers' camp at the Volna [Wave] camp. A double hit. Not a single local was injured, except for the windows. However, the number of occupiers [killed and injured] is in the dozens. Just beautiful." [Bavovna is a Ukrainian word for cotton; this is a reference to how 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.]

Details: Andriushchenko added that the Russians initially wanted to keep this event quiet, but eventually they reported the strike.

According to Telegram channels, the explosion occurred at around 09:30 in the morning.

There have also been reports that air defence systems in neighbouring Urzuf responded several times.
