On September 9, in the occupied Crimea, four powerful explosions were heard near the city of Stary Krym in the south of the peninsula (Kirovsky district of Crimea) near the military training ground of the Russian occupiers.

This event, which happened around 11 a.m., was reported by local media, referring to eyewitnesses.

Residents of the peninsula occupied by the Russians claim that two powerful explosions were heard near the city of Stary Krym. It is located in the south of the peninsula.

Almost half an hour later, residents again reported two powerful explosions.

At the same time, the Russian occupiers did not report the destruction of ammunition in this area today. At this time, the causes of the explosions are still unknown.

For reference:

Lately, there has been an increase in explosions in the occupied Crimea. They often link with Ukraine's soldiers' successful strikes on enemy troops, armaments, and warehouses with ordnance.

So, on August 29, in the temporarily occupied Crimea near Olenivka, explosions rang out again: the hit was reported on the social network.

In addition, on August 23, the Russian long- and medium-range S-400 "Triumph" anti-aircraft missile system was destroyed. Both the installation itself and the missiles installed on it and the personnel nearby were liquidated.

Later, the media reported that Ukrainian intelligence had landed in Crimea. It became known that a battle occurred there as part of the Main Intelligence Directorate's special operation with the participation of watercraft and aviation.

Yusov, a representative of Ukraine's intelligence, also reported that the operation took place on the territory of Cape Tarkhankut in the settlements of Mayak and Olenivka.

During the special operation, Ukrainian scouts landed on the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea and hung the flag of Ukraine there.

He clarified that the Ukrainian military had already returned after the special operation, having completed the assigned tasks.

According to Oleksii Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, most likely, Ukraine will liberate Crimea by military means. After all, only in case of de-occupation of the peninsula will Ukraine have certain security guarantees.

The head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense, Kyrylo Budanov, said that the Defense Forces of Ukraine are capable, if necessary, of striking the enemy in any part of the Crimea temporarily occupied by Russia. At the same time, Russians and Ukrainian collaborators should leave the peninsula.
