CrimeaPRESS reports:

On the morning of the current day, at 04.30, Ukrainian forces attacked an ammunition depot in the south of Crimea, near Kirovskoye. As a result of this attack, a fire is currently burning at the scene, and local residents are temporarily relocated.

A military training ground is on fire in the Kirovsky district of Crimea, the head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said earlier. The fire started around 4 am and locals report a large column of smoke. The authorities plan to temporarily evacuate residents of four settlements, the total number of resettled exceeds 2 thousand people.

To eliminate the emergency at the test site, an operational headquarters was formed, headed by the head of the Crimea. From the area adjacent to the landfill in the Kirovsky district, it is planned to temporarily evacuate the inhabitants of four settlements, which is more than 2 thousand people. Vehicles will be redirected to a detour, bypassing the blocked section of the Tavrida road.

An operational headquarters is now deployed at the scene to eliminate the emergency, and specialized services are working. In connection with this incident, the Tavrida highway was temporarily blocked, and buses following interregional routes were redirected to another road.

At the training ground in the Kirovsky district of Crimea

It is assumed that the Grom-2 operational-tactical missile system could be used for the attack. However, it is worth noting that strikes from this complex were suspended a few months ago due to its lack of accuracy and effectiveness. Recent missile attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces included the use of missiles modified from the S-200 air defense system, but they were usually shot down.

According to some reports, it is possible to use Storm Shadow / SCALP cruise missiles. Despite the fact that our air defenses are faced with this type of weapon, British-French weapons are still a danger due to their characteristics. However, this version does not explain the use of three missiles at once against one warehouse. Perhaps if one of them managed to bring down the air defense, then the second and third could reach the goal. If confirmed, this would be the first use of long-range cruise missiles against Crimea.

A fire at a training ground in the Kirovsky district led to the blocking of the Tavrida highway, said the head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksenov. It is proposed to go round along the old Feodosiya highway.
