On Monday, April 15, explosions were heard in occupied Berdiansk, which were heard throughout the city.

Russian invaders claim a missile attack and the operation of their air defense system.

After the explosions, which occurred around 12 p.m., smoke was observed rising into the sky in one of the city’s districts.

Photos from the scene were posted on social media by eyewitnesses among local residents.

The head of the Berdiansk City Military Administration, Victoria Halitsyna, confirmed the explosions in the city, which is located on the coast of the Azov Sea and has been under Russian occupation since 2022.

Subsequently, the advisor to the mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andriushchenko, suggested that the Ukrainian Defense Forces had attacked the location of invaders in Berdiansk. Previously, it was on the territory of the Pivdenhydromash plant.

The attack on Russian invaders in the Zaporizhzhia region was probably carried out by Storm Shadow cruise missiles. The Russian propaganda media claim two missiles.

Militarnyi previously reported on the details of the defeat of a invaders’ military facility by the aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force in occupied Luhansk.

A command post was hit during a missile attack on an enemy military facility in the Luhansk region.

The enemy used it to command and control military units of the ‘Center’ grouping.

The strike was carried out on April 13 at around 11:30 a.m. in the area of the machine-building plant, where, according to preliminary data, the Russian invasion forces were based. A thick black column of smoke rose over the city after the facility was hit.

The strike was carried out using Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG cruise missiles, which can be spotted in one of the videos taken by an eyewitness.
