Explosions in Crimea – what is known

Since the early days of the full-scale invasion, Russia has been using Crimea as a  staging post to ferry  ammunition and equipment to southern Ukraine, where fierce fighting is currently taking place.

In this regard, cases of strange explosions on the peninsula have recently become more frequent. The loudest emergency happened  at the Saki military airfield , when dozens of fighters of the RF Armed Forces burned down.

In anger, the occupiers  intensified the persecution of the inhabitants of the Crimea , expressing support for Ukraine.

Russia occupied Crimea in 2014 and the Kremlin has since turned it into a  solid military base in preparation for future aggression against mainland Ukraine.
