Explosion in Sevastopol result of Ukrainian drone attacks claims occupation authority
A powerful explosion rocked the Russia-occupied Crimean port city of Sevastopol on Dec. 30, the Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty project Crimea.Realities reported on Telegram.
The incident is said to have occurred at 8:44 a.m., causing windows to shake in the city center.
The head of the Sevastopol occupation authority, Mikhail Razvozhaev, claimed that the explosions were allegedly linked to "repelling an attack by a sea drone." He also claimed that helicopters destroyed a drone boat three kilometers from Sevastopol Bay in the open sea.
The Russian Defense Ministry also claimed to have destroyed a Ukrainian Navy drone boat at arrow 9:00 a.m., allegedly in the northwestern part of the Black Sea heading towards Crimea.
Ukraine has not commented on these alleged attacks as of publication.
