Explosions in Crimea
On the night of December 26, powerful explosions were reported in the port of Feodosia. Russian media claimed it was the work of air defense forces. The Telegram channel Krymskyi Veter reported that a ship, which brought Shahed drones from Iran, was attacked.
Explosions are becoming more frequent in Crimea. Ukrainian defenders have carried out dozens of operations on the peninsula and in the Black Sea, targeting and destroying Russian bases, depots, and ships.

Additionally, on December 20, news of a powerful explosion in the area of Chornomorske in western Crimea became known. At that time, it was reported to have hit the center of the long-range space communications of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
