Kyiv Nine Russian fighter jets were destroyed in a massive explosion at a Russian air base in Crimea. It is believed that Ukraine carried out the attack and it is feared that the ongoing war between the two countries will take a more serious form. Russia denied that any fighter planes were damaged in Tuesday’s blasts. He also dismissed reports of any kind of attack. At the same time, in the pictures taken from the satellite, at least seven fighter planes are seen setting fire to the Air Force base and others are seen damaged.

Ukrainian officials have not yet publicly claimed responsibility for the blasts. While the fire and explosion at ‘Saki Air Base’ have raised questions about Russia’s negligence of fire safety regulations and smoking bans in unspecified locations. Analysts also say that this explanation makes no sense. Ukraine may have used anti-ship missiles to attack. If the attack was indeed carried out by Ukraine, it would be the first major attack ever on a Russian military base in the Crimean peninsula.

Bombing in the southern regions of Ukraine
From Saki, Russian warplanes targeted the southern regions of Ukraine. One person was killed and 14 others were injured in the blasts here on Tuesday. Tourists fleeing in Tere have come up with a video of smoke rising. The video also shows cracks and broken windows in some buildings.

Active radicals convicted
Crimea’s regional leader, Sergei Aksyonov, said about 250 people had been placed in temporary housing after several buildings were damaged. Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s adviser, Oleksey Erestovich, had mysteriously said in an online press conference that the blast was caused by Ukrainian long-range weapons and the work of radicals operating in Crimea.
