Explosions in Crimea

Explosions have been occurring more and more frequently in the occupied Crimea lately. In most cases, they are associated with successful strikes by Ukrainian defenders against enemy personnel, equipment and ammunition depots.

On August 23, the Ukrainian military managed to destroy an S-400 anti-aircraft missile system near the village of Olenivka in Crimea.

Also, on August 24, the Ukrainian military conducted a special operation on the peninsula, having eliminated Russian soldiers and boats.
