Kyiv • UNN
At least 12 explosions were heard overnight in the temporarily occupied Mariupol and surrounding areas, details remain unclear, but a series of arrivals remains the most likely scenario.
At least 12 explosions were heard at night in the temporarily occupied Mariupol and surrounding areas, details remain unclear, but the most likely option is a series of arrivals, said on Wednesday the city's mayoral adviser Petro Andriushchenko, UNN reports.
At 01:20, at least 12 explosions were heard in Mariupol and the area. All districts of the city and the coast were heard. It was also reported that the "rockets" were heard as far away as Berdiansk. At the same time, a missile alert was announced in the south, but no air raid warnings were heard (which is normal for Russians)
According to him, "no arrivals were recorded in the city, but the issue of the district remains open." "We are trying to establish the cause," he added.
"Half an hour after the explosions, Russian monitoring publics reported that "Tornado-S with missiles with a range of up to 300 km were firing at Kurkhovo". Preliminarily, the information looks like another "sedative" from the "reeds were burning" series. However, the details are unknown right now," Andriushchenko said.
"Some of our observers admit possible launches from ships in the Sea of Azov, which may explain the wide spread of the sound. However, again, the issue requires further clarification on the type of weapon that could have been used," said the advisor to the mayor of Mariupol.
"The most likely option is a series of arrivals. So, all the details will come later," he summarized.
