• Ukraine says it struck a Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) base in Kamianka-Dniprovska, Zaporizhzhia region.
• Russia has yet to respond to the incident.

Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence division said on Monday that it had struck a Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) base in Kamianka-Dniprovska, Zaporizhzhia region.

According to Defense Intelligence, Russian forces were also storing ballots for an upcoming referendum in one of the buildings.

“The place where the ballots were stored for the pseudo-referendum was destroyed. The warehouse was blown up by an explosion from inside the premises. All existing printed materials have been destroyed,” the statement read. “The headquarters of the Russian FSB unit, which guarded the ballot warehouse, was destroyed as well.”

“The exact number of killed and wounded is being clarified. Survivors and wounded are urgently evacuated in the direction of occupied Crimea,” the statement also said.

According to open-source intelligence, an explosion occurred in Kamianka-Dniprovska, but CNN cannot independently verify Ukrainian claims that the site was used as an FSB base or that ballots for a referendum were stored there.
