Ukraine war: Blasts rock Russian airbase in annexed Crimea

One person has been killed after blasts at a military base in Crimea, the head of the Russia-appointed regional administration has said.

Sergei Aksyonov wrote on social media that the blasts had taken place at the Saky military base near Novofedorivka on the peninsula’s western coast.

Footage circulating on social media appeared to show multiple explosions.

Russia’s defence ministry later said ammunition was detonated, but this has not been independently verified.
