Late in the evening of January 5, the Saki military airfield in Novofedorivka, which is located in occupied Crimea, came under attack.

“The 43rd Fighter Aviation Regiment serves as the backbone of the aviation group supporting Russian troops in southern Ukraine. It is armed with Su-24 bombers and Su-30 fighters,” wrote the Crimean Wind monitoring channel.

At around 11:45 p.m., at least five explosions were heard in temporarily occupied Yevpatoriya and the area around the city, a local resident told Suspilny.
