Explosions in Krasnoperekopsk

Recent explosions have been a recurring concern in Crimea. Notably, Krasnoperekopsk has been among the locations frequently experiencing such incidents. Prior explosions were reported there on September 12 and earlier in July, with Russian occupiers sending up aviation during the summer explosions in the city.

Krasnoperekopsk is located in the southern part of the Perekop Isthmus, north of the Crimean capital, Simferopol. The North Crimean Canal also runs near Krasnoperekopsk.
