Satellites have recorded the consequences of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' strike on the Saky airfield, which is located in the temporarily occupied Crimea, according to the Krym.Realii Telegram channel.

According to the images, which were taken on July 28, dark spots can be seen on one of the parts of the airfield where Su-30 aircraft were based. The spots, in turn, may indicate a fire or explosion.
