In temporarily occupied Melitopol, explosions were heard on the night of 22 August, after which it became known that a logistics facility of Russian forces had been hit. This refers to the construction center "Stroycentr," which previously belonged to the Ukrainian chain "Epicenter."
This was reported by the separate LUFTWAFFE unmanned systems regiment 422.

Strike on the occupiers' logistics: watch the video
At the same time, it is reported that there are no civilian deaths or injuries as a result of the strike.
Everything involved in armed aggression against Ukraine will be destroyed, these are lawful targets. This is for Kryvyi Rih, f*ggots! Unlike the Russians, we are not cannibals, we do not fight civilians, no one killed or wounded,
– the regiment wrote.
Consequences of the strike on "Stroycentr": watch the video
Recall that during the day on 21 August Russian forces struck a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih with drones. As a result of the attack, at least 16 people were killed and another 130 were injured, including 23 child.
Rescuers from seven regions of Ukraine were involved in eliminating the consequences. Canine units are also working on site to help inspect the destroyed structures.
Andriy Kovalenko emphasized that Russian terror can no longer be perceived as a threat only characteristic of frontline and near-frontline cities. The zone of potential danger is expanding, and Russian strike capabilities can reach long distances.
He said Kryvyi Rih is something that could now happen in virtually any corner of our country, because Russia is constantly raising the stakes of terror. He urged local authorities and citizens to reassess their approach to safety, as this could be a matter of life and death.
At the same time, the head of the CPD warned against the idea of responding to Russia in kind with strikes on civilians. In his view, a more effective approach is systemic pressure on the Russian economy and the military-industrial complex, which should strengthen Ukraine's position ahead of potential diplomatic negotiations.
