The Russian army may shell the temporarily occupied territories, even those where its military are stationed, as a provocation.

Natalia Gumenyuk, head of the Joint Press Center of the Southern Defense Forces, said this on the air of the United News telethon, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

When asked about the alleged explosion in Skadovsk, Humeniuk replied: "This is exactly the case when you need to trust reliable sources. Very often, the occupiers provoke certain information in order to calculate the future actions of the Defense Forces. It is likely that they may also shell the temporarily occupied territories where they are located. Therefore, such reports should not be trusted before the official statement of the General Staff."
