(Reuters) – A fire broke out at the military training grounds in the Kirovske district on the Crimean Peninsula, the Moscow-backed governor of Crimea said on Wednesday.
The fire forced the closure of the nearby Tavrida Highway, Russian-installed Governor Sergei Aksyonov of Crimea said on the Telegram messaging app.
Earlier, the RBC-Ukraine news agency reported that there were explosions on the military training grounds. Reuters could not independently verify the report.
