🔺Strikes show we are coming for Crimea, Kyiv tells Moscow
Ukraine has warned Russia that a series of spectacular strikes hundreds of miles into Crimea are just the beginning of a campaign to free the peninsula that was annexed by President Putin in 2014.
Yesterday a Russian ammunition dump exploded at a military base 125 miles behind the nearest front line, an airfield was ablaze outside Simferopol, the Crimean capital, and an electricity substation connecting the peninsula was destroyed. “These fireworks mean that Crimea is coming back to Ukraine,” Serhiy Bratchuk, the spokesman for Odesa region’s military administration, said.
Video from Azovskee, near the town of Dzhankoi, northern Crimea, showed huge blazes after munitions were detonated, firing rockets into the air. Earlier footage from a passing train had shown dozens of BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket systems present at the ammunition dump before the blasts.
