Explosions in Melitopol
Melitopol, located on the shores of the Azov Sea in Zaporizhzhia region, fell into the hands of Russian troops in February 2022 during Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine. Despite the fact that the occupiers have gradually turned the city into their military base, explosions are constantly occurring in the region, which have become even more frequent since the start of the Ukrainian army’s counteroffensive.
