Spot Report by OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM): Explosion near SMM in Pikuzy

At 12:20, the SMM patrol members, three of whom were outside and two inside the vehicles, saw and heard an explosion on the road about 30m south-west, assessed as an impact. Shortly thereafter, the patrol saw a tailfin from a rocket-propelled grenade land on the road near the impact. The patrol members immediately entered the vehicles and the patrol left the area, relocating about 2.5km east of Pikuzy. While there, between 12:40 and 12:46, the SMM recorded ten undetermined explosions at an undetermined distance in areas south-west. The SMM safely returned to its base in Mariupol.
