A series of powerful explosions on the territory of the Russian military airfield Saky in the west of the occupied Crimea are the work of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This was reported by The Washington Post with reference to a Ukrainian official who wished to remain anonymous.

The interlocutor of the publication, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly on this issue, said that the Special Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were involved in the explosions on the territory of the Saky airfield in the village of Novofedorivka.

The Ukrainian official did not resort to details of exactly how Ukrainian soldiers attacked the Russian military airfield.
