BEHIND ENEMY LINES: Satellite imagery of the aftermath of Tuesday’s attack on the Saki air base on the Black Sea coast of Crimea reveals damage much more extensive than would have been caused by an accidental detonation of ammunition stocks.
Ukraine is not explicitly taking credit for the commando mission deep behind Russian lines, but is also gloating about the first attack on a Russian base in Crimea since Russian President Vladimir Putin illegally annexed the peninsula in 2014. The Washington Post, quoting an unnamed Ukrainian government official, said the attack was the work of Ukrainian special forces.
