Ukraine appears to have used U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles to strike the Saky airfield on Crimea's western coast near the city of Novofedorivka.
Russian military forces have announced new territorial gains in Ukraine's Kharkiv region, claiming to have liberated five villages from Ukrainian control.
The strikes caused massive fires and temporary shutdowns at the facilities according to Russian reports, though there were no immediate claims of responsibility from Kyiv.
