Explosions heard in Mariupol could have been the downing of another Russian aircraft
Explosions were heard in occupied Mariupol, Donetsk Oblast, on Feb. 19 could have been another Russian aircraft, said mayoral advisor Petro Andryushenko,
There are reports that a Russian plane may have crashed near the village of Rybatske. It could also have been a drone, said Andryushenko.
Two explosions were heard, followed by a burning aircraft flying over the Primorsky district towards Rybatske, Andryushenko reported.
The precise location is currently unknown.
Ukraine’s Air Force has yet to provide comment.
Mariupol periodically experiences explosions, as the city is a strategically important center along Russia’s so-called “land corridor” to Crimea.
Ukraine's military shot down four Russian aircraft in the last two days: three Su-34 fighter-bombers and one Su-35 fighter jet.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
