as shocked beach-goers watch on

Eyewitnesses reported at least 12 distinct explosions in Novofedorivka, Crimea The explosions occurred in the direction of a Russian held military airbase

The airbase is located more than 130 miles from nearest Ukrainian-held territory Source of the blasts has not yet been determined, according to Russian officials

Several large explosions have rocked a military airbase in Russian-held Crimea this afternoon as an ominous mushroom cloud sent bathers fleeing from nearby beaches.

At least 12 distinct explosions were reported by eyewitnesses, according to various sources, over the course of a minute around 3:30pm local time this afternoon.

Yet another blast was triggered around 30 minutes later, causing large plumes of thick black smoke to snake from the direction of the base in Novofedorivka, Western Crimea.

Russia annexed the peninsula from Ukraine in 2014 and has occupied the territory ever since despite widespread condemnation from much of the international community.

The source of the explosions has not yet been determined.

Novofedorivka is located more than 130 miles from the nearest part of mainland Ukraine not occupied by Putin's troops, and Ukrainian authorities have not officially taken responsibility for the blasts.

However, Viktor Andrusiv, a political scientist and former adviser to Ukraine's Ministry of Internal Affairs, wrote on the Telegram: 'As you can understand - missiles with a range of 200-300km are already in service with us and are being used in our country.

'The explosions.... today at the airfield in Novofedorivka in Crimea, are public proof of this.'

A Russian defence source meanwhile denied the explosions were caused as a result of incoming missile fire, claiming: 'Aircraft ammunition detonated at the ''Saky'' airfield near the village of Novofedorivka at a rubble storage site.

Another sign Ukraine is winning big time! The new offensive has started and very soon Crimea will be in Ukraine hands again. No Russian can beat a Ukrainian Freedom Fighter! Watch as the Yellow and white wave sweeps across the map now! Putin best shoot himself before the Ukrainian Army takes Moscow. NATO need to step in and join in the victory over the Soviet Union. With China invading the east and Germany and Poland the west—Russia will not last a month. The new Russian Republic will sell all her gas cheap! A new dawn is breaking!

First attack ever on occupied Crimea. I hope those Russian mothers had real fear in their hearts for the safety of their kids. That is what will end Russia’s war and genocide in Ukraine.

cruise missiles.......

Well, the Rooskies went into Ukraine, cruising for a bruising. And they are getting one. Bad Vlad Putin's ego has been cut down to size, Vlad is a loser due to Ukraine not rolling over for Vlad's invaders, the way much smaller Georgia and Crimea did.

Is that what you will be doing, abandoning the Ukraine/Russia threads to concentrate on Mar A Lago ?

Crimea belongs to Ukraine. It will be very difficult to take back. But Ukie guerilla forces can be a very large nuisance, to continually remind Vlad and Russians that Sevastopol and Crimea are vulnerable. As of now Rooskie navy ships have retreated far away into the Black Sea to avoid missile attacks.

The dumbass Russians are always going on about their "right" to a warm water port. BUT their navy is pitifully small and gets sunk as in Moskva. The joke is on these loonies, these greedy, vodka soaked barbarians.

It seems that you can’t bring yourself to take your own advice of abandoning the Ukraine/Russia threads to concentrate on other Mar A Lago, just checking.
