Russia apparently just raided the Sevastopol tactical brigade base. Ukraine #osint is MG Oleg Strutsinsky is now in Russian custody.

No links as of yet. Just two twitter sources I feel are quite reliable.

Pravda

I've had a quick search around the internet for confirmation of Russian military forces attacking Ukrainian military bases and thus far there are only two tweets from unreliable sources and there is nothing from the main stream media who have 100's of reporters in the Crimea. It would be interesting to see the international response if these tweets are true.

I see a whole lot more than 2 tweets. Just search for Interfax on the twitter search bar.

This better not be the truth, serious consequences could spark from this if true.

The original source goes back to the "pravda" news agency or in other words Ukraine propaganda machine.

Also did anyone report this yet :
Pentagon studying Putin's body language to predict his behavior

The Pentagon has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent years so that researchers can study the body movements of foreign leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, in hopes of predicting future behavior.

And something completely else :
China Sides With Russia On Sanctions; Ambassador Warns "Western Nations Would Be Hurting Themselves"

Amid a Russian spokesperson "hoping" tensions do not escalate into a new cold war with the US, China has come out (perhaps unsurprisingly) on Russia's side strongly condemning any sanctions:

"China has consistently opposed the easy use of sanctions in international relations, or using sanctions as a threat.”
The comments from China's Foreign Ministry reflect the country's close ties with Russia and confirm what Russia's ambassador to Canada noted, we "can always turn to China if the West follows through on threats of tougher sanctions," adding that "Western countries would largely be hurting themselves if they impose tougher sanctions."

Thus far most of the other sources have been reliable, and quicker to report than the MSM. The MSM uses these same sources to put stuff on their tickers 5 - 10 minutes later. I highly doubt any of them have reporters on the ground over there.

Like the ICBM test not too long ago; alternative sources were way ahead, then here comes the MSM hyping it up. That's why I come to this thread for the latest breaking news and, mostly, unbiased updates.

Translation of ua.interfax.com.ua...:
In Sevastopol russian forces are storming ukrainian army base A2355, tells the base's duty assistant to "Interfaks-Ukraine" news agency.

As decribed by him - Russian forces crashed through the bases's wall with Kamaz(the russian vehicle) and took posession of the nearest building. Now they are storming the command post.

The base has about 100 ukrainian soldiers on duty and the number of attackers is uncertain/unknown.

The mulitary base A-2344 is based in Sevastopol(Yuharina balka)

As reported earlier(Mar 5) Russian defence prime minister Sergey Shoygou announced that there are no russian forces in Crimea

Associated Press are now reporting that troops are storming a military air base in Sevastopol. Sky News in the UK are also reporting this. Looks like Vladimir Putin has decided against waiting any longer to use his military forces to launch a full on assault against the Ukraine military. Welcome to WW3 fellow ATS'ers. I bet the US are all over this right now with satellite imagery.

Confirmed on Sky News...
Here we go.

Damn, i feel sorry for Ukrainan soldiers.I hope no victims.

20 russian soldiers have entered the base defended by about 100 unkrainian troops - zero hedge

As they said "We'll be back"...

Not sure if that was already posted, but some nasty rhetoric coming from both sides. Seems like both sides need to swallow some pride and get to some purposeful dialog versus throwing their weight around.

BBC News live feed seems to have died it's usually a bit early for them to shut down their live feed, it usually goes down around about 11pm GMT. ?

Nothing at the moment from major media other than it coming in from Interfax

If they broken in, they've crossed the rubicon, it would be pointless attacking the command centre if they WERE NOT prepared to take it at bayonet point..
