As a result of an aerial attack in temporarily occupied Crimea, the military airfield Saky in Novofedorivka is on fire. There are reports of ammunition detonations, according to the pro-Ukrainian Crimean Telegram channel Krymskyi Veter.

Subscribers of the channel reported multiple powerful explosions across various parts of the peninsula. According to their information, the Saky airfield in Novofedorivka is burning, with ammunition detonations occurring there.

Additionally, subscribers reported strikes in the Okunivka area. Residents of Simferopol also heard loud explosions.

The channel's followers saw fire trucks and ambulances heading towards the Saky airfield.

According to the Krymskyi Veter source, an ammunition depot at the airfield has been hit.

Krymskyi Veter has published several videos, including footage of Russian air defense systems operating near Yevpatoriya.
