New videos appear to show a fire raging in northern Crimea, after reports of explosions around a military airfield overnight.
Footage widely circulated on social media by Russian and Ukrainian sources early on Wednesday show bright flashes of light and explosions, with sirens wailing in the background. A local Telegram channel reported "several loud explosions," starting just before 4 a.m. local time, before a fire broke out. Roads around the air base are blocked, the channel later reported.
Dzhankoy is a major military hub, home to one of Russia's largest airfields in Crimea. It is a key location for supplying Russian troops up through Moscow-controlled southern Ukraine and the frontlines of fighting on the mainland. Russia annexed Crimea back in 2014.
Open-source intelligence accounts said on Wednesday that Russian forces used the airfield as a base for attack helicopters and anti-aircraft missile systems. Several reports suggest Ukrainian forces may have struck the facility, but Kyiv has not commented.

“Many believe strong feelings of hate cause physical and mental issues.”
Says the guy who passionately hates Ukrainians and Ukraine.
But I'm the guy who didn't want war, and had I gotten my way, hundreds of thousands of young Ukrainians would be alive today. But you go ahead and keep kicking all that hate around. It will all come back in spades.
No.
You’re the guy who wanted Ukraine to surrender. And now you hate them because they’re embarrassing your wonderful dictator and making him look like the impotent little man that he is.
The Ukrainians have also exposed the weakness and incompetence of the Ruzzian military. No one fears them anymore. If Russia cannot defeat Ukraine in over ten years then how would they ever fare against a more powerful foe like China?
Ruzzia is a failed empire that hasn’t realized it’s dead yet.
Whether or not I am angry is not going to change the inevitable fate of Russia. This ill considered war of conquest is the Soviet Union’s dead cat bounce.
What happens next in Ruzzia will be civil war followed by opportunists like China swooping in like vultures to peck at the festering remains of a dead empire.
It’s over for Ruzzia.
If hatred is contagious, then how about you stop spreading it?
Stop poisoning yourself.
“Stop poisoning yourself.”
Stop posting Ruzzian poison.
A lot of the Ukrainians on FR unapologetically display a ghoulish blood lust. It’s sick and twisted. I’m glad I can’t relate to it.
They also tend to have quite unpleasant, self-absorbed personalities. Just an observation I’ve made since this thing started. I do my best to avoid a lot of the FRUkrainians.
Yes, I wonder how much they are as much NATO-team plants.
Oh yeah, I’m pretty sure there are some of those among their ranks.
Thus says the one waxing orgasmic over death in the second post in the thread.
“Thus says the one waxing orgasmic over death in the second post in the thread.”
So it upsets you when people make light of Ruzzian misfortunes? Why do you have such an emotional attachment to Ruzzia? Anything you’d care to share, tovarisch?
People who revel in death are psychopaths.
“People who revel in death are psychopaths.”
And on May 9th the Ruzzians will gather in Red Square to revel in the deaths of Germans and they’ll revel in the deaths of Ukrainians, too.
I suppose we can agree that the Ruzzians are psychopaths what with parading their blood soaked victories every year.
Funny, your post 2 and this thread is a gloaty gooey ball of reveling in death.
Just because someone else is celebrating a victory doesn’t mean it’s okay to smugly gloat over death.
Your post here suffers from “whataboutism”.
Death gives you the tingles, normal people don’t behave like that.
