Explosions rock Crimea and Rostov: Reports of ammo detonation, drones
On the night of Friday, July 26th, powerful explosions were heard in the temporarily occupied Crimea. These explosions were reported around Yevpatoria, Novofedorivka, and Simferopol. It is believed that ammunition detonated at the Saki airbase.
Information about the night explosions in Crimea appeared on local Telegram channels. One channel reported that 13 explosions occurred overnight from Thursday to Friday.
"A source reports: 02:41 GMT, and there have already been 13 powerful explosions. You can hear the roar of rockets firing from all directions. From the direction of Dobruszyn, from the direction of Yevpatoria, from the direction of Novozerne and somewhere far away, most likely in Saki," we read.
Their source was not specified. Among the places where explosions were heard is the Saki airbase, located in the western part of the peninsula. According to reports from Telegram, a fire was visible from the direction of the base. Secondary explosions were also heard, suggesting ammunition detonation.
Drones in Rostov Oblast
The residents of Rostov Oblast did not have a peaceful night either. At least three drones were seen over Rostov itself. The Russian anti-aircraft defence was active, shooting down one of the drones about 14 kilometres from Rostov.
Local sources reported that a fire broke out where the machine's debris fell.
