According to him, a woman was seriously injured and a man was wounded in the back.

The local telegram channel Rio-Melitopol also reports about the "powerful explosion in Melitopol".

According to the channel, the explosion took place near the Interior Ministry.

Melitopol has been under the control of Russian troops since February 25.

In early May, Mayor Fedorov said that more than 60% of residents had left the occupied city, and the main problems of those who remained were food shortages and unemployment.
