Videos posted on social networks showed sunbathers fleeing a nearby beach as huge flames and pillars of smoke rose over the horizon from multiple points, accompanied by loud booms. Crimea Today News said on Telegram that witnesses reported fire on a runway and damage to nearby homes as a result of what it said were dozens of explosions.
Russia's Defence Ministry denied the Saki base on the Black Sea had been shelled and said instead that munitions had (spontaneously) blown up there. But Ukrainian social networks were abuzz with speculation that it was hit by Ukrainian-fired long-range missiles.

I wasn't referring to Second as an individual. Second is not an individual and has no agency. He's proven he's just a Borg for Democrats at this point, so he can and will be blamed for everything HIS party does going forward.
Surely you've heard about the FBI raid via FISA warrant on Mar-a-Lago last night by now.

A Russian air force Il-76 airlifter was rolling down the runway at Saki air base in Russian-occupied Crimea on Tuesday afternoon when something—or several somethings—exploded hundreds of yards behind it.
As many as a dozen blasts rocked the sprawling base, which houses the Russian Black Sea Fleet’s 43rd Independent Naval Attack Aviation Regiment and other units. Fireballs rolled into the sky, feeding a pall of black smoke and startling tourists sunbathing on nearby beaches.
The Kremlin claimed the explosions were the result of an accident. But the near-simultaneous blasts across the airfield indicated otherwise. It clearly was a Ukrainian attack. But exactly how the Ukrainians hit this major Russian facility 120 miles from the front line remains unclear.
But they had options. In the five months since Russia widened its war in Ukraine, the Ukrainian armed forces have deployed more and better means of conducting deep strikes. Even a hundred miles from the front, the Russians are vulnerable.
The Saki base immediately prior to the attack housed around a dozen each Su-24 bombers and Su-30 fighters plus Mi-8 helicopters and the Il-76, according to commercial satellite imagery. At least one of the Su-24s was destroyed in the Tuesday attack along with several support vehicles and possibly one of the base’s munitions dumps, if videos and photos of the damaged base are any indications.
It’s possible the damage is much more extensive than the initial evidence implies. The Tuesday raid marks the latest escalation by Ukrainian forces that steadily are growing more adept at pinpointing and hitting Russian bases, supply lines and command posts—sometimes inside Russia itself.
The roster of systems the Ukrainians could have used to strike Saki is testimony to their growing deep-strike capabilities. Options include fighter-bombers, Tochka ballistic missiles, drones and Harpoon and Neptune anti-ship cruise missiles with their secondary land-attack modes. It’s even possible the Ukrainian army managed to complete the new HRIM-2 or Sapsan ballistic missiles it was developing before the war.
Fighter-bombers and cruise missiles aren’t hard to miss as they roar overhead—and there’s no evidence of them over Crimea on Tuesday. That could leave ballistic missiles and drones as the likeliest offenders. Ukrainian officials were coy, simply stating that the weapons that struck the Russian base were “exclusively of Ukrainian manufacture.”

Not all of them would, Reaverfan. But a large cancerous part of the Democrat base would.
Why don't you lay them out in detail for us so I can archive them.

At least seven Russian warplanes were destroyed after explosions rocked annexed Crimea on Tuesday, new satellite images show, in what CNN research found could be Moscow's biggest loss of military aircraft in a single day since World War II.
The destroyed warplanes appear to be Su-24 bombers and Su-30 multirole fighter jets, said Peter Layton, a fellow at the Griffith Asia Institute and a former Australian Air Force pilot, who examined Planet Lab satellite photos showing the Saki Air Base before and after the explosions.
Two more warplanes appear to have been damaged, Layton said.

That's what I thought.

Was looking at before and after pictures of the airbase wondering what happened. Since it's too far for an artillery shell and none of the residents or vacationers saw or heard a rocket or drone, I thimk I can safely rule out an air attack.
So there are extensive "parking" areas for planes off the runway, it looks kind of like a "zipper" with "parking spots" inside bermed areas on either side of a taxiway. (I don't know the terminology) My guess is the berms are to contain jet exhaust so it doesn't hit any nearby planes.
Anyway, at each end of the longest section of this taxiway are ... or, were ... large orange buildings/structures. My guess is for fuel or munitions, given the color and location. At another angle of this taxiway is ...or was... another structure that might have been a large storage cylinder of some kind. And somewhere inside that rectangle formed by taxiways ther was another ... something ... the evidence of its existance were berms, but I don't see anything above-ground so maybe it was underground.
One orange building looks thoroughly burned. The other orange building has only a small crater left. The "large storage cylinder" is now just a small crater. And the area of the most intense fire seems to be that area defined by berms but not much visible above-ground. Four sources of detonation or fire as fa as I can tell. I counted maybe ten planes destroyed on the ground, but all of this is far from the main runway which appears to be intact.
It looks to me as if something went off and caused other sources to detonate or burn. Whether that was sabotage or accident I suppose we'll never know. If it was an accident it was a really stupid one.
