Quote from Radio Liberty: "A satellite image taken on Monday morning (26 June - ed.) clearly shows a fire on Cape Chauda in annexed Crimea.

This is a military training ground of the Russian army, from which representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine say the Russian military launches barrage munitions of the Shahed/Geran type on targets in Ukraine.

It is not known what caused the fire: there have been no reports of missile or drone attacks on this area of Crimea in recent days."

Details: A map created by journalists shows that several Russian military facilities, including a training ground, are located near Cape Chauda.

The training ground was closed in the late 1980s, but in 2016, the Russian Federation resumed its work.
