The enemy has laid explosives at a water pipeline and critical infrastructure facilities in the temporarily occupied Melitopol district, Zaporizhzhia region.

The Ukrainian mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, said this on national television, Ukrinform reports.

"Unfortunately, the enemy controls the ZNPP and we have information that the enemy has started to mine critical infrastructure in the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region," he said.

Fedorov specified that the issue concerns the water pipeline located in the Melitopol district and supplies the city with drinking water. In addition, in Melitopol, explosives were planted at important electrical facilities.

"The enemy will constantly blackmail the entire civilized world until our military forces liberate Enerhodar and the entire south from the enemy," the mayor said.

Earlier reports said that mine explosive barriers had been placed at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in technical premises and machine rooms.
