Putin’s crony in Crimea, Mikhail Razvozhaev, was forced to admit the Russian military is currently fighting off Ukrainian rockets in a “massive attack”.

Local reports said the massive missile strike had targeted the Belbek military airfield.

Close to Putin’s main naval base, the airfield was hit just weeks ago by Ukrainian missiles in another humiliating blow.

It is believed to be home to a host of Russia’s fighter jet fleet stationed on the peninsula.

Ukraine’s daring hit comes as the latest embarrassment to embattled Putin’s war effort – possibly striking land, air and sea hotspots.

The centre of the naval port is also currently “on fire”, according to one unconfirmed report on X.

Ukrainian missiles have also reportedly hit several buildings in the occupied region.

Dramatic clips shared online showed air raid sirens blasting out as smoke filled the sky.

Putin’s beloved £3billion Kerch Bridge – which has previously been hit by Ukraine and connects the Crimean peninsula to Russia – was also closed amid the barrage of aerial hits from Ukraine.
