A fire broke out near the airfield of occupied Simferopol on Oct. 31, according to the Crimean Wind monitoring group.

“The fire occurred near the airfield in the vicinity of the village of Vilne near Dzhankoy,” Crimean Wind reported.

“However, sometimes you can't see equipment and warehouses catch fire. But the secondary ignition of grass, forest, and fields is clearly visible. For example, from the dispersion of shrapnel.”
