These, it is believed, are likely to be part of Ukraine’s tentative counter-offensive in the south as it seeks to dislodge the occupation forces and eventually reclaim its territory, once and for all. The latest incidents in Crimea occurred on Tuesday when a fire caused multiple explosions at a Russian ammunition depot near Dzhankoi in the north of the peninsula. A nearby train station and power substation were also damaged, as well as residential buildings, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
