(Reuters) – An ammunition depot was hit early on Monday in Dzhankoi in Crimea, with Russian air defence forces intercepting or suppressing 11 drones over the area, a Russian-installed official said.
Sergei Aksyonov, the Russian-installed governor of the Crimean Peninsula that Moscow annexed from Ukraine in 2014, also said that a residential building was damaged in the area.
It was not immediately clear whether the ammunition depot was directly hit by a drone or if it was damaged by falling drone debris.
Russia has a military air base near Dzhankoi. Ukrainian officials have long said the city and surrounding areas have been turned into Moscow’s largest military base in Crimea.
