An airfield belonging to Russian forces in occupied Crimea has been left in flames after a devastating Ukrainian drone strike, according to reports. Footage shared online purportedly shows the fire at Kacha airfield following a huge round of strikes from Kyiv's forces.
Reports suggest Ukraine launched a massive aerial bombardment overnight on the Ukrainian peninsula, which has been occupied by Russian forces since 2014 and illegally annexed by Moscow. Loud explosions were heard near the Saky airfield in Novofedorivka, as well as at the Belbek air base near Sevastopol. A missile base in the Hvardiiske area was also reported to have come under attack by Ukrainian UAVS.
The Telegram channel Crimean Winds noted: "In the last 15 minutes, there were several explosions from the direction of Krasne village, flashes were seen and a sound 20 seconds later in Hvardiiske."
Mikhail Razvozhayev, the governor of Sevastopol, claimed that Russian air defence systems had shot down a number of drones.
"The loud sounds heard in the city are our military repelling a drone attack," he wrote on his Telegram channel.
"Early reports indicate that seven UAVs have been destroyed over the sea at a great distance from the shore," he said after 02:00am.
Later, at around 03:00am, Razvozhayev wrote that the Russian "fleet, in cooperation with air defence forces, is repelling a large-scale combined attack on Sevastopol over the sea near Cape Khersones, Sevastopol Bay, Kacha and Balaklava."
"No facilities in the city or in the waters of Sevastopol have been damaged as of now," he claimed.

All wars come to an end of some sort. Rather than continually watching the pre-game talk shows and half-time entertainments, the actual, final result of the game war will be learned in time.
