Explosions shake a military air base in Crimea

On Tuesday, several large explosions shook an air base in the Russian-occupied Crimea. While the Moscow Defense Ministry claimed no one was hurt, local authorities claimed at least one person was killed and numerous others were injured.

The Saki site experienced weapons explosions, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, which also highlighted that the installation had not been shelled.

According to the statement, which was reported by Russian news outlets, “Several munitions designed for aviation burst in a storage located on the property of the Saki military airfield, close to the community of Novofiodorovka.”

Long-range missiles fired from Ukraine were the subject of much conjecture on social media in that country, and Ukrainian military sources confirmed this. There has been no offical confirmation as yet.

Ukraine suggests that the explosions at the Russian base in Crimea were sabotage.
