Ukraine used U.S-supplied missiles in an attack that sparked blazes at a Russian military air base in Crimea, according to reports.
The Astra Telegram channel posted images of flames at the Belbek airfield near the city of Sevastopol following the strikes overnight Tuesday.
Belbek airfield has been operated by the Russian defense ministry since Moscow's annexation of Crimea in 2014.
