Explosions were reported in Crimea on the morning of May 16. Atesh partisans recorded strikes on Russian military bases.

Agents of Atesh reported explosions in the area of the settlement Perevalne in southern Crimea, particularly at the military base of the 126th Separate Guards Coastal Defense Brigade of the Russian Black Sea Fleet (military unit 12676) and the 8th Separate Artillery Regiment (military unit 12676).

"There is information about dead soldiers who were on duty at the warehouse," the partisans reported.

According to Krym.Realii media, the base contains storage boxes for military equipment and weapons, and possibly also fuel and lubricants. The base was attacked twice before - on March 17 and August 25, 2023.

Atesh revealed that in the summer of 2024, agents monitored the warehouses and hangars with equipment in Perevalne. The partisans managed to collect important information on the storage and movement of Russian equipment and ammunition at the military bases. At that time, according to the agents, the occupiers' base lacked air defense systems.
