Ukraine war live updates: Ukrainian resistance in Russian-occupied Melitopol

More acts of Ukrainian resistance overnight, say regional authorities 

Authorities in the Melitopol region of Ukraine have reported more acts of resistance against Russian troops on Wednesday. 

The military administration said a grenade exploded near a Russian command post, which was followed by an exchange of fire. No casualties were reported. 

A Russian armoured train, which was carrying troops and ammunition, also overturned in Melitopol on Wednesday, causing ammunition to go off, the administration said on Telegram. 

It said, “with help” from resistance fighters, the train derailed as the Russian military does not maintain tracks and overloads its trains. 

On Tuesday, the administration claimed that Ukrainian resistance fighters had killed several high-ranking Russian officers in Melitopol, although this could not be independently verified by Euronews. 

Russian forces have occupied the southern city of Melitopol, since the early days of the war.
