Explosion rocks Russian-occupied Melitopol

An explosion occurred in the temporarily occupied town of Melitopol on the morning of 5 April. Source: Ivan Fedorov, the legitimate mayor of Melitopol, on Telegram Quote from Fedorov: "Cotton continues to flourish [i.e., explosions have occurred] in temporarily occupied Melitopol." [Russian propaganda, initially refusing to use the word 'vzryv' (explosion), used 'khlopok' (a bang) instead.

However, 'khlopok' also means 'cotton', and this has since become a meme - ed.] Details: The mayor noted that the explosion was heard in the city's northern and western districts.

Information regarding the location and other details of the explosion are being established. Background: A car exploded in temporarily occupied Melitopol on the morning of 3 April, injuring collaborator Maksym Zubarev.
