Russia blames the blasts at an ammunition storage facility in Crimea on an 'act of sabotage' without naming the perpetrators.
Massive explosions and fires have taken place at a military arms depot in Russia-annexed Crimea, marking the second time in a week that a Russian facility in the region has suffered a major incident.Ukraine has not officially confirmed or denied responsibility for the explosions at a military arms depotRussia claimed the explosions were due to "sabotage"
The explosions raised the prospect of new dynamics in the six-month war if Ukraine now has the capability to strike deeper into Russian territory or pro-Kyiv groups are having success with guerrilla-style attacks. After Tuesday's blasts, Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak and chief of staff Andriy Yermak both made coomments on social media about "demilitarisation": an apparent mocking reference to the word Russia uses to justify its invasion."Operation 'demilitarisation' in the precise style of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will continue until the complete de-occupation of Ukraine's territories.
