The Chief of the Unified Coordination Press Center of the Armed Forces of Southern Ukraine, Colonel Natalia Humeniuk, commented on the explosions at the Belbek airfield in the occupied Crimea.

She provided her comments during a telethon on the morning of February 1.

"Well, the occupiers themselves have already admitted that five missiles found shelter on the territory of temporarily occupied Crimea. They even marked the places where it happened. And they admitted, among other things, that they did not have time to disperse the aircraft fleet. In particular, the planes that were damaged at Belbek itself," she noted.

"And, of course, confirmation from the Air Force commander that Crimea is Ukraine, and we are reclaiming what is ours," added the spokesperson.

Responding to the question of how many air defense systems the Russians have deployed on the Crimean peninsula, Natalia Humeniuk pointed out certain changes in their locations.

"No matter how many they deploy, we will find each one and work with each individually. In particular, the closure of traffic on the Kerch Bridge was again related to the reorientation of air defense systems," the spokesperson explained.

"They are trying to improve the defense of objects they currently consider strategically important. And we closely monitor these maneuvers and understand that the deployment of air defense systems somehow marks other objects that are worth our attention," she added.

Natalia Humeniuk also provided information about the aircraft of the Russian army at Belbek.

"In Crimea, primarily tactical aviation is based. These are various modifications of the Su aircraft that take off and terrorize the Azov Sea and the Black Sea. These are the directions where the enemy occasionally conducts so-called pinpoint missile attacks and takes off for gathering information," reported the spokesperson.
