Explosions have been heard in the Russian-held city of Mariupol in southeastern Ukraine with reports of loud blasts coming from the area of a nearby airport. Based on unconfirmed reports from local sources, there have been up to four missile strikes on Mariupol which was taken by Russian forces in 2022 following a three-month-long siege.
According to a correspondent from Ukrinform, a statement was made using the messaging service Telegram by Petro Andriushchenko, an advisor to the mayor of Mariupol confirming the explosions.
A video of an explosion near the recently built Nevsky housing complex, which was constructed by Russian occupants, was also uploaded by Andriushchenko.
Andriushchenko said on Telegram: "Explosions rocked the Mariupol district. Mariupol residents reported hearing three powerful explosions.
Early reports indicate that the Mariupol airport, where occupation troops were based, was hit.

The Russians had just moved helicopters from Bryansk to Mariupol and then the missiles arrived. Apparently there are partisans in Mariupol reporting on every Russian move.
With what t34s?
How’s that 3 day special military operation going?
Exactly, the crazier the comments, the better Ukraine is doing in kicking their asses
What’s with the Patriots, the most advanced version, being sliced and diced by the Russians?
Seems to me that we should have gotten our act together before sending our hardware into combat.
You are Russian, not American.
When you say ‘we’ you need let people know.
Your military still sucks, and the patriots are still kicking your ass.
“You are Russian, not American.”
