Russian military training base appears to burn in occupied Crimea

A fire broke out Wednesday at a military training field in annexed Crimea, the Russian-installed governor said, prompting authorities to order the evacuation of more than 2,000 civilians. Authorities did not specify the cause of the blaze, but some Russian media reported that detonations were heard in the area and footage showed columns of black smoke in the sky. The news comes days after Ukraine used waterborne drones to attack the Kerch bridge, a key military supply artery from mainland Russia to annexed Crimea. #crimea #fire #ukraine Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
