According to local residents on social networks, a battle is taking place in the Vostochny microdistrict. Very powerful explosions are heard.
The explosions were so strong that they were also heard by residents of the Zhovtnevy and Ilyichevsky districts. “The ground shook under our feet,” eyewitnesses told 0629.
According to them, the shooting was carried out from a Grad. This information has not been confirmed and there are no official comments on this fact yet.
At the same time, Hromadske TV journalist Natalya Gumeniuk wrote on her Twitter account: “outskirts. Microdistrict Vostochny. A little further on the field is burning. People came out to watch. They fired from a Grad at a Ukrainian checkpoint. The photo is not visible."
Currently, some city residents are evacuating to basements. Residents of the Left Bank are leaving for the central areas of the city. Public transport runs along the route.
At the same time, on the Dozhd TV channel, Chairman of the Donetsk Regional State Administration Sergei Taruta said that there was no assault on Mariupol.
The ATO press center reported that “Russian troops are bringing the Grad and Uragan systems to Mariupol,” although they later stated that this message appeared as a result of hacking a Facebook account. The DPR stated that today a reconnaissance in force was carried out in the direction of Shirokino.
As PolitNavigator reported, earlier the Azov battalion stated that it had left a checkpoint near Shirokino.
