Sergey Aksionov, a representative of the occupying authority in Crimea, confirmed that an explosion had occurred at the ammunition depot in Crimea due to a strike by a Ukrainian drone. It was decided to evacuate the population within a 5km radius of the event to temporary housing centres. In addition, traffic on the Crimean railway was temporarily halted to minimise risks.
At the time of the attack on the oil and ammunition depots, a decommissioned military airfield was present in Oktiabrske.
The Crimean partisan movement Atesh earlier reported that the russian Armed Forces were amassing military equipment at this airfield, including infantry fighting vehicles, KamAZ trucks, and Tiger armoured vehicles.
Another representative of the occupying administration in Crimea, Oleh Kriuchkov, called on witnesses to provide the FSB with information about people who were filming the aftermath of the attack.
