Ukraine claims destruction of Russian Kalibr missiles en route to Crimea.

TL;DR
Ukraine claims that a shipment of Russian Kalibr cruise missiles was destroyed in transit to the Black Sea Fleet in Crimea. The missiles were destroyed by an explosion in Dzhankoi city, and Ukraine did not explicitly say it was responsible for the blast. The Russian-appointed governor of Crimea said anti-aircraft weapons were fired in the vicinity of Dzhankoi. The reported destruction of the shipment of cruise missiles in Crimea follows Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to the peninsula on Saturday in an unannounced tour to mark the ninth anniversary of the region’s annexation from Ukraine.
