In Melitopol, partisans detonated the headquarters of the occupying forces, where a meeting involving officers from the FSB and the Russian Guard was underway, as reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

"The retaliatory operation unfolded within the premises of 'Nova Poshta,' which the Russians had seized on Dmytro Dontsov Street (referred to as Pavla Sudoplatova Street by the occupiers). The Russian invaders had established their headquarters in the specified building," detailed the intelligence officers.

As a consequence of the explosion, a minimum of three Russian Guard officers lost their lives, and a vehicle adjacent to the headquarters was obliterated. Further details on additional enemy casualties are currently under investigation.
