Images shot on a phone show fire and smoke billowing from a munitions depot in Crimea, after Russia says a fire set off explosions. The Russian defence ministry said in a statement that a fire erupted around 6:15 am local time (0315 GMT) at a temporary military storage site near the village of Mayskoye in the Dzhankoi district, causing ammunition to detonate.

Explosions at an arms depot spark the evacuation of some 12,000 people in northern Ukraine as a huge fire is set off, authorities said. IMAGES
Explosions ring out and smoke rises in the area of Ocheretyne, a village in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region which, according to observers, is now mostly controlled by Russian forces. On Sunday, the commander-in-chief of Ukraine's armed forces said the situation on the frontline had "worsened", with Moscow's troops making a number of notable gains. IMAGES
Several explosions sounded early Thursday morning in the centre of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv following an air alert prompted by missiles and drones launched by Russia. IMAGES
NATO needs to ramp up production of ammunition as Ukraine's rate of usage is far outstripping current capacities and draining stockpiles, the defence alliance's chief Jens Stoltenberg says. "The current rate of Ukraine's ammunition expenditure is many times higher than our current rate of production. This puts our defence industries under strain," Stoltenberg says ahead of a meeting of Kyiv's Western backers. SOUNDBITE
Four explosions were heard in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv early Sunday, with AFP journalists reporting a residential complex near the centre of the city had been hit, causing a fire and cloud of grey smoke. The blasts occurred around 6:30 am (0330 GMT), half an hour after air raid sirens sounded in the capital, which has not not come under Russian bombardment for nearly three weeks. There was no immediate information on casualties. IMAGES
