"Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin and the leader of the so-called "DPR" Denis Pushilin were reportedly there recently. Occupation sources report 'interception of 5 HIMARS missiles'. But judging by the smoke, the reality is quite different," added the Mariupol City Council.

Later, the Mariupol City Council reported that ambulances and firefighters arrived at the scene.

"Some occupants also wrote about the arrival near the houses. But this is not true. There are no residential buildings near the airport," the statement said.
