The Ukrainian intelligence carried out a terrorist act in Berdyansk, blowing up the automobile of the district's chief of administration, Alexey Kichigin, as per local authorities.

The authorities reported that the official was not hurt.

In a post on Telegram, the city administration said, "At 19.30 [16:30 GMT], the Ukrainian intelligence committed a terrorist act by blowing up a car bomb in the city of Berdyansk, the car belonged to the head of the military-civil administration of the Berdyansk district, Kichigin Aleksey Nikolayevich."

"Fortunately, the official was not injured, as he timely noticed a suspicious object on the bottom of the car," the administration added.

It is worth noting that the explosion's power is reportedly about 1kg of TNT equivalent, as per the administration.

"The failed inhuman action carried out against a civilian official who has nothing to do with military affairs will in no way affect the work of the military-civilian administration of the Berdyansk region," the statement stressed.
