Explosions in Crimea
Explosions have been occurring more frequently in the territory of temporarily occupied Crimea. Some of them are related to Ukrainian forces strikes on enemy gatherings, equipment, and ammunition depots.
In particular, on August 12, drones attacked Crimea. According to RBC-Ukraine sources in the Security Service of Ukraine, this was an operation by Ukrainian special services. The target was a logistics base of Russian forces near Yevpatoriya.
On August 17, the Russians blocked the traffic across the Crimean Bridge for several hours. They did not provide reasons for this action.
