The occupiers' military facility went on fire near occupied Melitopol in Zaporizhzhzya Region this morning, mayor Ivan Fedorov has said on Telegram.
"Minus one enemy military base in the Radyvonivksyy nature reserve near Molochnyy Lyman at 4 a.m.," he said.
He added that Russians "were smoking so heavily that there is still a plume".
Heavy fighting continues in the south, with the Ukrainian Armed Forces pushing the occupiers out. Russian troops continue to use counter-battery fire as they lack strength and motivation to engage in open fight.
