Strong explosions occurred in the occupied city of Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson region. There is currently no official information about the cause of the explosions in the temporarily occupied settlement. But users on social networks report that the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the ammunition depot of the Russian army.

Published videos also show a powerful explosion of fire and ammunition. It is reported that the explosions started around 16.40. Then a large column of thick smoke rose into the sky.

Nova Kakhovka is a city of regional subordination in the Kherson region, in the south of Ukraine. Nova Kakhovka is located on the left bank of the Dnieper, a few kilometers downstream from the city of Kakhovka. Since the end of spring, no Ukrainian mobile operators have been operating in the occupied Nova Kakhovka, and the invaders have also restricted the activities of Internet providers.

There is reason to fear that the occupiers – in case of separation, will be deprived of housing and settle in imported Russians. The Russian army actually occupied the Kherson region in the first week of the war.

Gennady Laguta, head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration (KPA), believes the rapid occupation of the Kherson region was due to the large number of Russian soldiers occupying the region. Source
