The Russian RIA Novosti also reported that a transformer substation caught fire in the city on the morning of August 16.
The Russian-appointed administrative head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said that he urgently left for the village, located about 25 km southeast of Dzhankoi to investigate an explosion at a transformer substation.
“I left for the village of Mayskoye, Dzhankoy district. The circumstances of the incident are being investigated. I will inform you as information becomes available,” Aksenov said in his Telegram channel, according to The Guardian.
According to more local media reports, an ammunition depot in the village of Maiskoye near Dzhankoi in the north of Crimea, has also caught fire.
In another Telegram post, Aksyonov wrote that "the detonation of ammunition occurred in the north of Crimea".
Residents are currently being evacuated, according to Russia's TASS agency.
The cause so far remains unknown.
Explosions this morning at a Russian ammunition depot near Dzhankoi, a major junction in NW Crimea. HIMARS? Saboteurs? Neptunes? Something else? Unclear. But Ukraine has struck deep behind enemy lines before. This video shows munitions detonating and springing out of the blaze. https://t.co/gPOYTjbWpf
