Explosions rock occupied Crimea

In the temporarily occupied Crimea, locals heard a series of blasts Thursday morning.

The reports come from the town of Saky in the western part of the Russian-occupied peninsula, the Crimean Wind Telegram channel wrote, according to Ukrinform.

"Explosions are heard in Saki from the Yevpatoria side, our subscriber reports," the posting reads.

A Russian military airfield is located just outside Saky in the village of Novofedorivka.

Earlier, Ukrinform reported that on January 31, a Ukrainian strike targeted the Belbek airfield in temporarily occupied Crimea.
