Crimea Videos Show Huge Explosions as Russian Air Base Attacked
Newsweek ^ | 4/17/2024 | Ellie Cook

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.

This was apparently an ATACMS strike on Dzhankoi Air Base:

"Russians are subhuman"

Many believe strong feelings of hate cause physical and mental issues. Try peace and love for your own benefit.
