According to Ukraine‘s defense ministry, an explosion in the north of seized Crimea destroyed Russian weapons being transported by rail.

The newly installed Russian mayor of Dzhankoi claimed that drones had targeted the area.

Ukraine confirmed the blasts but did not specifically state who was behind the attack, as is customary.

If confirmed, it would be an unusual venture into Crimea by Ukraine’s military, which has been annexed since 2014.

“The [explosions] continue Russia‘s demilitarisation process and prepare the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea for de-occupation,” the Ukrainian defense ministry said in a statement.

According to Kyiv, the missiles were meant for use by Russia’s Black Sea fleet.

The Russia-installed administrator, Ihor Ivin, claimed a 33-year-old male was rushed to the hospital with a shrapnel injury from a fallen drone. He said nothing about military targets being damaged.

According to local media, several structures caught fire and the power grid was affected.

In October 2022, Russia blamed Ukraine for a drone attack on the Black Sea Navy in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol.

It claimed nine drones were employed in a strike that damaged a battleship. Ukraine denied responsibility for the strike.
