Explosions at Saky airbase in Crimea send plumes of smoke into sky



The Ukrainian military claims to have struck a major airbase deep inside the occupied Crimean peninsula. At least 12 explosions hit the Saky naval airbase, causing a huge plume of smoke. Russia has disputed the claims and says it was not an attack but a detonation of ammunition. Crimea’s emergency services claimed three people were injured but there are few confirmed details about the explosion



This is inside Russian occupied Crimea!!! Slava Ukraini!!Heroyam Slava!!

Ukraine going after targets important to Russia when they least expected it after all Russia has done to try to cripple Ukraine.

Smart move on Zelensky's part. Keep it up. Putie's ego is wrapped up in Russia's Military might.

explodes and destroys itself at an insanely high rate, rather than admit that they are in a war that they started.
