This was reported by Georgy Reshetilov, acting head of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration.

According to him, the explosion occurred in the Black Sea. As a result of the detonation of an explosive device, the man died at the scene.

Two women were also injured. Medical personnel provided on-site treatment to the 47-year-old victim. The 63-year-old woman was hospitalized; doctors assess her condition as moderate.
