Not heard the two reported explosions in Simferopol. @ukrpravda_news and @rykov both saying it was stun grenades. Quiet in the center

Earlier, many Russian troops were surrounding Ukrainian military bases that refused to surrender. Stating the obvious, unless something has changed, if the Russian troops are storming these bases, it is unlikely that two sound grenades would be enough to do the trick.
Stun grenades? Fireworks??
