Explosions thundered near Russian air bases

1.01.2023

On December 31, residents of occupied Crimea heard loud sounds over the western coast and the central regions of the peninsula.

This information is provided by a number of people in the region, reports stopcor.org.

The first reports of explosions in Crimea appeared online around 2:15 pm. At the same time, it was alleged that the message came from the city of Dzhankoy.

Later (around 14:33), new reports about loud sounds over Simferopol and Yevpatoria appeared.

Local residents also posted a video in which you can clearly hear two loud sounds: “Obviously not firecrackers,” the Russians are sure.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian activist Mykolaiv Vaniok published a message hinting at an attack by unknown flying objects near the village of Hvardiiske in the Simferopol region and in Dzhankoy.

Hvardiiske – a village located 15 km from Simferopol and 50 km from Yevpatoria. One of the air bases of the Russian army is located near this settlement, where Su-24 bombers and Su-25 attack aircraft can be based.

It is worth noting that the settlements, rocked by the sounds of explosions and indicating the work of the Russian air defence, are located quite far from the possible positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine:

Yevpatoria – about 180 km;

Hvardiiske near Simferopol – about 200 km;

Dzhankoy – about 180 km.
