The claim
The image being circulated, which shows smoke from an explosion in the background on a beach, is believed to be a doctored image.
Our conclusion
The photo is real, in fact the explosion was clearly visible from the beach complex, where there were many Russian tourists at the time.
This is probably because the beach picture with the explosion in the background was shared on Telegram, as UkraineWorld wrote on Twitter , as the information on the platform is not always very trustworthy, which is why we were asked if the photo was real, because it was supposedly poorly photoshopped.
However, the photo is actually real.

Since there were many Russian tourists on the beach at the time, there are also photos of the explosion from the beach view, for example here in a report from second 14:
In a video on ntv (see HERE ) you can also see the long beach near Saky with the explosion in the background.
From the beach resorts it was possible to see the cloud of smoke from the explosion without much visibility:
Conclusion
The photo is not fake. In fact, the explosion at the Russian military base could be seen from the beach facilities in Saky, of which there is also video footage from the beach.
