Ukraine launched missile attacks on Russian barracks in the occupied city of Melitopol on Saturday evening, The Guardian reported.
Multiple explosions were reported in the southern city, with both Melitopol’s exiled mayor and the Russian-installed authorities confirming the strikes took place, per Reuters.
The pro-Russian authorities said that the attack killed two people and injured 10. The exiled mayor Ivan Fedorov claimed on Telegram that an estimated 200 «occupiers» were killed in the attack, which reportedly used US-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS).
Yevgeny Balitsky, the Russia-installed head of the Zaporizhzhia region, also said that HIMARS struck Melitopol, per the Kyiv Post.
«Air defense systems destroyed two missiles, four reached their targets,» Yevgeny Balitsky, the Moscow-appointed governor of the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region, said on Telegram.
Different reports gave slightly different descriptions of the site that was struck by the missiles.
