Explosions were heard again at the Belbek airfield in Crimea: video and information about the consequences of the strike

It was hot again at the Belbek airfield in the temporarily occupied Crimea, with another 'arrival' on the night of May 16. While some Russians reported the operation of air defence systems, others pointed to the deaths of soldiers.

This was reported by Russian Telegram channels.

The reports say that on the night of May 16, something was on fire again at the Belbek airfield in the temporarily occupied Crimea. The so-called ‘governor’ Razvozhayev claimed that the Russian military had allegedly repelled the attack. It was written that there were even American ATACMS among the downed missiles.

Later, the Russian Ministry of Defence reported that at night in the temporarily occupied Crimea, Russian air defence systems allegedly shot down as many as 5 ATACMS missiles.

However, despite the ‘work of Russian air defence’, a video of a fire at the Belbek airfield was posted online.

In addition, the Crimean Wind monitoring group also wrote that the Russian Ministry of Defence had reported, but "..did not specify which fuel tanks and warehouses at the airfield had shot down the missiles".

In addition, another propaganda channel wrote that the attack on the airfield had resulted in Russian military casualties. The repeated attack on Belbek resulted in the deaths of more than 20 soldiers, but the exact number is still being established. It is also known that several air defence systems were damaged, allegedly because the Russians ‘’could not protect them‘’.

Earlier, we showed the first photos of the aftermath of the attack on the airfield in Belbek.
