Satellite Images of Crimea Air Base Indicate Explosions Destroyed Russian Jets

Satellite images of the Russian air base in Crimea hit by explosions appear to show several destroyed war planes, contradicting Russia’s official account that no planes were lost in the blasts.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video address late Wednesday that Russia had lost nine combat aircraft in Crimea. Officials in Kyiv have mocked Russia but not taken responsibility for the blasts.
