Russia says it has repelled another drone attack in Crimea

Russia has repelled another drone attack against the Crimean port of Sevastopol, the main base of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea, pro-Russian Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev said today. This complaint comes after the alleged assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin through drones.

"At night, the air defense forces and electronic warfare units repelled another attack on Sevastopol," he wrote on his Telegram channel.

According to Razvozhaev, the pro-Russian governor of Sevastopol, a drone has lost control and crashed into a forest. The remains have been found by employees of the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

The second and third drones have been shot down over the sea, as indicated by Razvozhaev.

In total, the governor denounced, Ukraine "has sent more than 10 drones to Crimea and Sevastopol overnight."

Over the past 14 months, the annexed Ukrainian peninsula has been the target of several attacks attributed to Ukraine.

Crimea became an enemy target in August 2022 as a result of a sabotage operation against a Russian Army arsenal and suspicious explosions at a Russian airfield.

In October, the Crimean bridge, which links the occupied peninsula with Russia, was heavily damaged by a bomb attack attributed by Moscow to Ukraine.

In March, the Russian Navy repelled a drone attack on Sevastopol, and finally, in late April, a major fuel storage depot in the same port city was blown up by drones Moscow says were launched by drones. Ukraine.

During the day before, the leader of Crimea imposed by Russia, Serguei Aksionov, and his adviser Oleg Krychkov, assured that two Ukrainian Grmo-2 ballistic missiles were shot down on the peninsula.
