According to them, several explosions were heard earlier on the territory of the military base.
According to the source, local military departments and law enforcement agencies assume it could be an attack by a small unmanned aerial vehicle that hit an ammunition storage.
Grozev claims that 12 SU-24M and 12 SU-25SM aircraft were at the airbase. The airfield was part of the Russian Naval Forces.
