Aksionov said there were multiple explosions at the plant in the central Krasnogvardiski district on Saturday morning. According to the representative, there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage from the attack. However, rail traffic on the peninsula has been suspended to “minimize the risks,” Aksionov said. The Russian military uses rails to transport soldiers and ammunition.
The Ukrainian military claimed responsibility for the attack and said it destroyed an oil depot and Russian military camps in Oktiabrske in Crimea’s Krasnogvardeyskiy Krai, without specifying what weapons were used. A news channel in Crimea on Saturday released videos showing plumes of smoke billowing over rooftops and fields near Oktiabrske as explosions rumbled in the background.
