Fresh explosion hits Russian city

The Russian-appointed head of Melitopol, Vladimir Rogov says there has been a powerful explosion in the south-eastern city on Monday morning.

Mr Rogov disclosed that plumes of black smoke were visible in the centre of the city.

He added that the explosion shook the walls and windows of buildings on several streets.

Reports say, the blast occurred in the area where the Russian-appointed head of Yevgeny Balitsky is located.

Russian forces took over the city early on in the war, back in February, but there has been fierce resistance from residents ever since.
