Explosions in Crimea

Explosions are becoming more frequent in the occupied Crimea. The Ukrainian Defense Forces have already conducted dozens of operations on the peninsula and in the Black Sea, destroying Russian bases, warehouses, and ships.

According to the Commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykola Oleshchuk, this large enemy landing ship was hit by cruise missiles.

Later that day, satellite images appeared after the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck Feodosia Bay. As seen in the footage from Planet.com, in addition to the large landing ship Novocherkassk, another vessel partially sank. According to media reports, it is an old training ship "UTS-150".

It was also reported that on December 24, a powerful explosion occurred in Sevastopol in the morning. According to witnesses, a sound similar to the noise of a missile was heard before that.

In addition, on December 20, it became known about a powerful explosion near the village of Chornomorske in western Crimea. At the same time, the center of long-range space communications of the Russian Aerospace Forces was hit.
