Crimea explosion: Russians flee after Ukraine strikes air field
Показать описание
Explosions rocked a Russian airbase in Crimea on Tuesday, in what appeared to be an unprecedented Ukrainian attack.
If confirmed, the strike would represent a dramatic escalation in the five-month long conflict.
Ukrainian officials claimed responsibility for the blast at the Saki airfield, 125 miles behind the frontline.
Russian tourists were filmed gazing at mushroom clouds on the skyline. The peninsula, occupied by Moscow's forces since 2014, has so far been spared from the fighting.
