“We already know what happened on Nov. 28. The enemy’s entire headquarters was destroyed. More precisely, during a meeting held at the headquarters, there was an explosion, and at least 14 people were killed, including a large number of officers.”

The Russians again tried to hide behind civilians, so they placed their headquarters on the grounds of a kindergarten.

“Explosions continued yesterday on the territory of temporarily occupied Tokmak,” said Fedorov.

“And also on the outskirts – exactly where the enemy is located and exactly where it concentrates military equipment and personnel. Thus, liquidation of the enemy continues on the Zaporizhzhya front.”

Explosions were heard in occupied Tokmak on Nov. 28. Residents reported that a building seized by Russians had been hit. Fedorov said that after the strike, the occupation administration took their belongings and evacuated the wounded.

Explosions are periodically reported in occupied Melitopol and Tokmak. These cities are strategic targets of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the counteroffensive in southern Ukraine to cut the land corridor between Russia and occupied Crimea.
