Powerful explosions have recently shaken two strategic cities in occupied Ukraine, with video footage revealing smoke billowing from a Russian military barracks in one of the affected areas.

On Monday morning, a round of explosions left a Russian-appointed police chief in the city of Mariupol injured, the Express reported.

Meanwhile, a second salvo of shelling occurred in occupied Melitopol, situated between the Crimean peninsula and mainland Ukraine.

According to reports, this attack allegedly destroyed a barracks intended for soldiers deployed to the frontlines. However, Putin’s officials have denied these claims.
