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.

“Why aren’t you proud of your heritage?
You cheer on genocide and rape of a country by your beloved Russia.
Don’t get your panties in a wad, keep proclaiming your love for Putin.”

You really don’t want to be on this site very much longer, I guess.

Looks like another pinprick attack. Sure does appear that someone added in the same explosion to make it look like 2 explosions. Ukraine and the UK media always try to do a lot of fake stuff, so I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case.

“for every “large explosion” in a Russian held area the press reports on there are 20+ in Ukraine”

Blind hitting Uke cities with V-1 style weapons injuring 2 or 3 civilians. You dudes have no shame, just crawl back to Asia where you belong.

I’m sorry if facts hurt your feelings

Yes civilians have been killed but many military targets and buildings have been hit especially with glide bombs
