Plumes of black smoke were visible on Tuesday near the hamlet of Gvardeyskoye in the center of Russian-controlled Crimea, according to Russia’s Kommersant newspaper.
Earlier on Tuesday, Russia’s Defense Ministry blamed a series of explosions near Dzhankoi in northern Crimea on “sabotage,” according to state-owned news agency RIA.
Ukraine has neither acknowledged nor denied involvement in the latest round of explosions in Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014.
