Huge explosions create mushroom cloud above Putin-annexed Crimea
Huge explosions create mushroom cloud above Putin-annexed Crimea
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.
As many as 15 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.'
Russian's defence ministry 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.
