Deadly Explosion Rocks Russian Border Guards Base in Crimea, Fueling Tensions in the Occupied Region

On 2 May, an explosion shook the base of the Russian border guards located near Simferopol, in Russian-occupied Crimea, according to Radio Svoboda (Radio Liberty).

The news outlet reported that although Russian Telegram channels had shared reports of explosions being heard in Sevastopol on the same day, the explosion occurred at the Russian border guards’ base near Simferopol.

Radio Liberty added that photographs shared on social media could be used to geolocate the site of the explosion, which occurred at the former border guards’ training centre near the Jabanak gully, several kilometres away from the Simferopol airport, in the vicinity of the village of Shkilne.

On 29 April, Mikhail Razvozhayev, the so-called "governor of Sevastopol," reported that a fuel storage tank was burning in Kozacha Bay, which he said was caused by a drone strike. On 1 May, Russian occupiers in Crimea claimed that their air defence equipment shot down several drones.
