This is reported by the BBC.

The UK Defense Minister, Ben Wallace, having flown to Denmark for a conference dedicated to helping Ukraine, told the BBC that Britain still doesn't know the reason for yesterday's explosions at the Russian air base in Crimea, but certainly does not consider Russia's explanation plausible.

"This obviously does not happen because of a thrown butt", the UK minister said. 

At the same time, he called the "unlikely" version that these explosions could be the result of the impact of missiles given to Ukraine by the West.

In any case, Wallace believes, the Russian airbase in Crimea is a perfectly legitimate target for the Ukrainian military.
