Ukraine’s intelligence directorate said on Sunday that an explosion in the Russian-occupied town of Melitopol killed at least three Russian servicemen in an attack it described as an “act of revenge” by local underground groups.
The blast occurred during a meeting on Saturday of Russian officers in the town, a hub of Russian forces in the south, the directorate within the defence ministry said in a statement.
“This act of revenge, carried out by representatives of the local resistance, took place in the New Post offices seized by the Russians,” it said.
There was no mention of the incident from Russian officials. Reuters was unable to verify the Ukrainian statement.
