We will never know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't a lot of networks of spies in Crimea. A lot of military forces in that area were originally Ukrainian, then many were pressured into witching sides back in 2014. While I'm sure most of them are true traitors, I'm guessing Ukraine has communication networks with many in that area. It was somewhat rumored that someone leaked this information due to not being paid, but that seems like more of a convenient lie. Hopefully we know more soon, as to how many high level officers were killed, but I personally hope some of those former Ukrainian admiral turncoats were among the rubble...
