The Russian Federation claims to strike with supposedly long-range missiles.

Two powerful explosions thundered in the Azovstal area in Mariupol on the evening of May 26, Petr Andryushchenko, an adviser to the mayor, said on Telegram , citing confirmation from the local resistance movement.

“Two powerful explosions in the Azovstal area. Smoke rises. It flew hard. Before that, unsuccessful air defense work was recorded over Nikolsky. Good evening,” Andryushchenko said.

Numerous photos and videos from the network, dated, according to Andryushchenko, May 26, show a column of thick smoke rising from the industrial zone.

The TASS propaganda agency confirms that an attack on the occupied city was allegedly carried out with long-range missiles.

Representatives of the local Resistance Movement note that as a result of “arrivals” the streets near the plant are blocked by Russian checkpoints.

In turn, Andryushchenko specified that the occupiers had set up a warehouse with ammunition at the place where the “cotton” arrived.
