The Russians have started a mass evacuation, the Tavrida highway is blocked.

In the eastern part of occupied Crimea, deep in the rear of the Russian army, in the Kirov district near the village of Krynichki, the largest ammunition depot is burning and exploding, the BBC reports.

The Crimean Wind telegram channel first reported the fire and detonation; it has already published three different videos, two of which clearly show a large fire in the distance and large "sparks" flying from the explosions. It could be rocket propelled ammunition.
