A day after new explosions in the Crimean peninsula, authorities there reported that they had destroyed a suspected Islamist cell. Six people were arrested. They are said to belong to the banned group Hizb ut-Tahrir.
This was announced by the Russian Crimean governor Sergey Aksyonov on Wednesday on the news service Telegram. The group coordinated its activities from the territory of Ukraine, the Russian secret service FSB brought the matter to light.
Connection to explosions unclear
The statement did not say whether the six arrested were related to the recent explosions at Russian military bases in Crimea. In addition to Yalta, the report also mentioned Dschankoj, in which the Islamist cell is said to have been excavated. A military depot at this site is said to have been damaged, the Russian Defense Ministry announced on Tuesday.
The Ukrainian government has not yet commented on the Crimean incident. She has not yet said whether the Ukrainian army is responsible for the attacks in Crimea. A base was badly damaged in the past week. Military experts believe it is possible that Ukrainian partisans or special forces are operating far behind the front lines of the war.
The war in Ukraine started on February 24. The Kremlin speaks of a “special operation” aimed at destroying Ukraine’s military capabilities. In addition, action must be taken against nationalists who are regarded as dangerous. Ukraine, on the other hand, speaks of a war of aggression.
