MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 04th December, 2022) Several blasts occurred in the Ukraine-controlled city of Zaporizhzhia late on Saturday night, Ukrainian media report.
Air raid sirens went off in the region after reports of explosions in Zaporizhzhia, according to Ukrainian news portal Strana.ua.
According to air raid data from Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation, air raid warnings were also in effect in the Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, and Kharkiv regions shortly after midnight Saturday.
Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine on February 24, after the Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics appealed for help in defending themselves against Ukrainian provocations.
In response to Russia's operation, Western countries have rolled out a comprehensive sanctions campaign against Moscow and have been supplying weapons to Ukraine.
On September 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin and the heads of the Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics, as well as Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, signed agreements on the accession of these territories to Russia, following referendums that showed that an overwhelming majority of the local population supported becoming part of Russia.
