Quote: "Residents have reported that a robust explosion occurred today [17 February] during a sports competition in Melitopol's Sports Facility No.3, which was soon followed by the urgent evacuation of children from the building. Ambulance cars and police arrived at the scene. The building was, of course, cordoned off, and the window panels were blown out."

Details: Later, Fedorov added that dozens of witnesses forced the Russians to admit that they had demonstrated a man-portable anti-tank grenade launcher to children during a local sambo tournament.

Quote: "A 'demonstrator' pulled the trigger. This resulted in several people being injured. I would like to note that the incident took place in a sports facility crowded with children and parents. By trying to militarise our children in the temporarily occupied territories, the Russians have completely lost their sanity."
