Two explosions rock temporarily occupied Mariupol, occupier weapons & air defense systems destroyed
Explosions rocked the temporarily occupied city of Mariupol, Donetsk Oblast late in the evening on Dec. 14.
Two explosions were confirmed.
The strikes occurred at two distinct locations – near Port City and a concrete plant, reported Mariupol deputy mayor Petro Andryushchenko. These areas are used by the occupiers for storing weaponry and components of air defense systems, he said.
Photos and videos of the event depict a substantial fire resulting from the explosions.
"The area remains cordoned off; around midnight, the wounded were evacuated from Port City," Andryushchenko said in the morning of Dec. 15.
Mariupol has intermittently experienced explosions. The city holds strategic significance as it serves as a crucial land corridor for Russians to access temporarily occupied Crimea.
Regular movements of Russian military equipment are frequent in the area.
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.
