Col. Yuliy Mamchur is the commander of the Belbek Air Force base near Sevastopol, which was taken over Saturday by forces who sent armored personnel carriers smashing through the base’s walls and fired shots and stun grenades.
Two officers were injured by gunshot wounds in the assault, a Ukraine Defense ministry official confirmed to Fox News.
Several journalists, including foreign press, were beaten by Russian forces, officials told Fox News.
It was unclear if the forces, who didn’t bear insignia, were Russian military or local pro-Russia militia.
President Oleksandr Turchynov, in a statement Sunday, said Mamchur was “abducted” by the forces. He didn’t specify where Mamchur is believed to be held.
