Russian and Ukrainian officials have reported a series of explosions in Russian-occupied cities of the southern Zaporizhzhia region Saturday.
No casualties were reported by either side following the attacks.
One of the region's Russian-installed leaders, Vladimir Rogov, said Russian air defenses shot down six rockets over Berdiansk, a port city at the southeastern tip of the region. He blamed Ukraine’s military for the attack.
The Russian-installed Berdiansk civil-military administration said even though the missiles were destroyed in the sky, fragments fell near a Catholic church and a bus station, damaging a car.
The Russian-backed Rogov also reported a series of explosions in Melitopol, west of Berdiansk.
The city's Ukrainian mayor, Ivan Fedorov, commented on the blast in a post on Telegram, but did not immediately imply who was responsible. He is not currently in Melitopol.
Rogov also claimed Ukraine’s Armed Forces were behind a strike on the village of Chernihivka, located between the two large cities hit Saturday.
CNN is unable to verify claims on battlefield developments.
Saturday's explosions mark the latest in a recent string of attacks on Russian-occupied territories in southern Ukraine.
