Ukraine used U.S-supplied missiles in an attack that sparked blazes at a Russian military air base in Crimea, according to reports.
The Astra Telegram channel posted images of flames at the Belbek airfield near the city of Sevastopol following the strikes overnight Tuesday.
Russian state media reported that Russia’s air defense systems destroyed 10 ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) operational-tactical missiles over the occupied Crimean Peninsula, which has seen an increase in Ukrainian strikes recently.
The military airport of Belbek in Russian-occupied Crimea was struck last night. The NASA FIRMS maps show extensive fires at the spot where Russia parks numerous air planes.
