Residents of the Russian-occupied city of Melitopol were woken up by “powerful blasts in the north of the city” in the early hours of Wednesday morning, local Ukrainian media outlet RIA Melitopol reported.

RIA Melitopol said on the encrypted messaging app Telegram that there were about 10 strikes and people reported seeing a “glow” near a local airfield.

“The occupiers no longer deny that these are strikes by the Armed Forces of Ukraine rather than their own air defense,” it added.
