Explosions destroy Russian cruise missile shipment in Crimea
While being transported by rail, an unspecified number of Russian Kalibr cruise missiles was destroyed in several explosions in occupied Dzhankoi, Crimea, Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence press service said on March 20. The message stopped short of saying that Ukraine was behind the apparent attack.
The report notes that Kalibr missiles are launched by Russian Black Sea Fleet ships, capable of reaching any target across Ukraine.
On March 20, local Telegram channels reported a series of explosions and gunfire in Dzhankoi, posting video footage of large blasts occurring in the vicinity of the local railway station. Russian occupational “authorities” announced that "air defense is working " and that some "wreckage" ostensibly "damaged a household and a store." The so-called head of the administration of Dzhankoi complained about the "incoming (enemy) drones."
Earlier, Defense Intelligence spokesman Andriy Yusov said that Russia has only 7% of its Kalibr missile stockpile left, having spent most of them in numerous air strikes at Ukraine’s critical infrastructure.
