Dramatic footage has surfaced online appearing to show the destruction of a Russian ammunition depot in contested southern Ukrainian territory as Kyiv's counteroffensive makes gains.
Heavy smoke and orange flames are visible in a clip widely circulating on social media, and also shared by Ukrainian military and regional officials.
A spokesperson for Ukraine's air force said on Sunday that Kyiv's forces had struck a Russian ammunition storage site in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine, according to Ukrainian media. Moscow has said it has annexed Kherson, along with the Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of mainland Ukraine, but this is not internationally recognized.
The explosion reportedly took place in the Kherson village of Rykove, close to the port city of Henichesk, which is under Russian control, according to Ukrainian officials. The ammo storage facility was located at the Partyzany railway station near Rykove, the commander of Ukraine's air force said, according to local media.
