Air defence system activated as explosions are heard in occupied Mariupol

VALENTYNA ROMANENKO - SATURDAY, 29 OCTOBER 2022, 12:20 Petro Andriushchenko, adviser to the Mayor of Mariupol, reports that explosions were heard in Russian-occupied Mariupol, Donetsk Oblast, on Saturday, 29 October. Source: Andriushchenko on

Telegram Quote from Andriushchenko: "Mariupol is under heavy gunfire. The sound of explosions can be heard:  - in the city centre, in the area of the Azov market (next to the new Russian quarter);

- in the Livoberezhnyi district, in the area of a former Brewery.

Sources from the city say that it looks as if S-300 air defence systems are being used. This may be connected with the military situation along the Vuhledar/Volnovakha line [cities in Donetsk Oblast]." Details: Andriushchenko also said explosions could be heard in the area of Peremohy Square in the Livoberezhnyi district, but these are due to the fact that the occupiers are demolishing houses.
