Special forces soldiers of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine conducted a special operation in the temporarily occupied Kamenka-Dniprovska (Vasilyevsky district of the Zaporizhzhia region). As a result, a number of facilities that the occupiers used as bases were destroyed and significantly damaged.

The press service of the HUR reported this.

Fires continue in several premises, which the occupiers cannot extinguish for a long time. In particular, the management of the State Treasury Service.

"The place where the ballots for the pseudo-referendum were held was destroyed. At the same time, the warehouse was blown up by an explosion from inside the premises. All available printed materials were destroyed. At the same time, the location of the Russian FSB unit guarding the ballots warehouse was destroyed. The exact number of dead and wounded is being specified. Survivors and wounded urgently evacuated in the direction of the occupied Crimea," the HUR notes.

Intelligence notes that the occupiers imposed a strict curfew in the city from 7.00. Military helicopters have been spotted over the city. As a result of the special operation, the civilian population was not injured.

Earlier, US State Department Deputy Spokesman Vedant Patel said that preparations for holding fictitious referenda in the occupied territories of Ukraine are led by First Deputy Head of the Russian Presidential Administration Sergey Kiriyenko.

• According to the US assessment, Russia may hold pseudo-referenda in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Lugansk and Kharkiv regions in the coming weeks.
