Crimea says to evacuate thousands over military site fire

A fire broke out Wednesday at a training field in annexed Crimea, a local official said, prompting authorities to order the evacuation of more than 2,000 civilians.

“The temporary evacuation of residents of four localities adjacent to the military field in the Kirovsky district is planned. That’s more than 2,000 people,” said the Moscow-installed head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov.
