Explosions in Melitopol – what is known

Melitopol has been occupied since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. One of the largest bases was placed by Russian troops on a bombed-out military airfield, since then “cotton” has been constantly appearing there.

Explosions in the lairs of invaders increased significantly in the summer of 2022. On February 10, rockets hit the occupiers in the Tokmak area . In addition, new strikes on the airfield were recorded, and on March 5, two more Rashist bases came under fire .

Melitopol is part of the so-called “land corridor” of the Russians to Crimea, so the strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are aimed primarily at the enemy’s logistical routes. It is this city, according to many military personnel, that is the key to the de-occupation of the south of Ukraine .
