The condition of another 10 is difficult to assess due to smoke, but they are almost certainly destroyed due to their proximity to large craters. The remaining 17 bunkers show signs of significant damage. Five large craters from large-scale detonations are visible (circled in yellow).

Old part of the base: At least 17 buildings completely destroyed. At least two open-air ammunition storage areas in smoke. The purple circled area cannot be assessed, but the damage, especially in the north-eastern part, must be extremely severe. At least two large craters from large-scale detonations are visible.
