Crimea Air Base Strike Leaves 30 Russians Dead, 80 Wounded
Up to 30 Russian personnel may have been killed and another 80 injured, according to a new report, after dramatic footage appeared to show explosions at a Russian military base in northern Crimea overnight.
“About 30 Russian servicemen were killed and about 80 were wounded at the airfield in Dzhankoy,” a Crimean-based Telegram channel called Crimean Wind reported on Wednesday.
Crimean Wind is a pro-Ukrainian monitoring group that focuses on Crimea and generally offers reliable information.
Natalia Humeniuk, spokesperson for Ukraine’s southern forces, described Dzhankoy as a legitimate military target on Wednesday but declined to offer up further details.
