Video: A substation is on fire in Melitopol after being hit
A series of explosions occurred in the temporarily occupied city of Melitopol, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, on the night of April 14, resulting in a fire at a critical infrastructure facility.
As a result of the drone attack, part of the city was left without power, causing a partial blackout.
The city was struck by kamikaze drones. After the strike, a massive fire broke out at a local power substation, accompanied by thick smoke and open flames.
“The city was attacked by drones. After the strike, a massive fire broke out at the power substation. Footage posted online shows thick smoke and flames engulfing the facility,” eyewitnesses report on social media.
Due to significant damage to equipment, power has gone out in several districts of the occupied city.
Russian occupation sources have not yet provided detailed information on the extent of the damage, but residents confirm the lack of a stable power supply.
In Russia, strikes were recorded overnight on the city of Tver, where oil depots are located, as well as on the “Krymskaya” oil pipeline station in the Krasnodar Krai.
