The Ministry of Defense called the cause of the explosions at the warehouse for temporary storage of ammunition near Dzhankoy
The cause of the fire at the electrical substation and the warehouse for temporary storage of ammunition, which led to explosions, is sabotage. This was reported in the Ministry of Defense.
According to the military, as a result of sabotage, a fire broke out on the territory of the bunded temporary ammunition storage site, which led to the detonation of the ammunition stored there. As a result of the explosions, severe damage was caused to the Mayskoye settlement, the electrical substation, where a fire also occurred, and the railway.
- it is spoken in the message of military department.
The investigation into the sabotage continues, and measures are being taken to eliminate the consequences of the incident. As previously stated by the head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, all the houses affected by the explosions will be restored at the expense of the republican budget.
Meanwhile, a number of Russian and Ukrainian sources expressed the opinion that local residents working on instructions from the SBU or military intelligence of Ukraine, as well as agents of the Ukrainian special services who arrived on the territory of the republic under the guise of refugees, could be involved in the sabotage. For sabotage, there is no need to penetrate the warehouse itself, just one drone with a Molotov cocktail hanging from it or something else. Since the range of such UAVs is not large, the saboteurs most likely operated from the territory of the peninsula, being not far from Dzhankoy.
Meanwhile, information appeared about a possible drone strike on a military air base in the Crimean village of Gvardeyskoye. According to local residents, several explosions sounded in the area of the air base, and clouds of black smoke rise above the territory of the airfield. There has been no official confirmation from the Ministry of Defense.
