Ukraine War: Ukrainian Special Forces behind 'Crimea blast'

Sky News has been told by a senior Ukrainian official that Ukrainian Special Forces carried out an operation on a Russian airbase in Crimea.

One person was killed in a series of blasts at the air base close to seaside resorts on the annexed peninsula on Tuesday - some 200km inside Russian-held territory.

Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and used it as a launchpad for the invasion of its neighbour in February.
