According to early reports members of pro-#Russia militia used a truck to break thru the gate of the base. No shots so far #Crimea #Ukraine

Not sure how reliable this is, but reports of pro-Russian, not actually Russian, forces breaking in with no shots fired.

Are sky news and BBC news having a media blackout or somthing?


Nothing on there yet just news coming in on the Twitter feed.

There is nothing on twitter.... Maybe sky
got it wrong.

EDIT:

Ukraine MoD spoxman confirms storm of air force base in Sevastopol. Russian troops already seized part of base. Says unaware of shots fired

Ah yeah, that makes sense now.


Hang tight and hope this is just rumours.

I stand corrected. The MSM is on the ground in Crimea.



This video is of a CNN reported asking question of the camo clad soldiers. Of course they had nothing to see to her questions of their origin. They say they are there to keep the peace. No one knows where the troops are from and no one is claiming them.

nice little video there www.liveleak.com...

I feel like the world has shrunk to the size of a football
and every where has potential war scenarios.. it's
actually quite depressing that a handful of people in the world
can so much tension and Ill will.

I'm using inagist.com to get various tweets about the subject. Here is the link that shows tweets related to the possible raid: inagist.com...

Various sources reporting the same thing, but it could be that they are all using the propaganda source. We'll see.

Reuters

You rock! Thanks, this will come in handy!

Reuters are now reporting that armed men have taken control of a Ukrainian military post via their official Twitter account. Apparently they have a reporter on scene, reported no shots fired and no arms have been seized. This is happening in Sevastopol and the armed men are believed to be Russian forces.

Not verified of course, but more journalists are on their way to see what is going on. I'm assuming by the official Reuters tweet that they've made it and confirmed this. ...sigh

From a euro supporter though, could be propaganda.
