Russia says blasts at Crimea arms depot an act of ‘sabotage’

Russia’s defense ministry says a fire that set off explosions at a munitions depot in Moscow-annexed Crimea was caused by an act of “sabotage.”

“On the morning of August 16, as a result of an act of sabotage, a military storage facility near the village of Dzhankoi was damaged,” the ministry says in a statement carried by Russian news agencies.

It adds there were “no serious injuries.”
