Sevastopol fights off Ukrainian air attacks
Following Evpatoria, the air defense system worked in Sevastopol.
Eyewitnesses say that four explosions were clearly heard in the sky in different areas of the city, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“I am at work in the government. Just like many of the townspeople, I heard popping in the center. Similar ones were heard a little earlier in the Strelka area. Air defense was being practiced in the bay. In the center is ship art. The story is the same as yesterday. According to preliminary data from the UAV. Targets hit. Let's keep calm. The military does their job well. Let’s support them,” Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev wrote in his Telegram channel.
Observer Boris Rozhin explains such an active appearance of drones in the Crimean sky by probing the air defense system on the eve of Ukraine's Independence Day.
“The UAV’s actions in Belbek, Kerch and Yevpatoria look like testing the air defense of Crimea before more serious attack attempts on August 23-24,” he noted.
Air defense activated twice in Yevpatoria today
Let us note that in Streletskaya Bay, near which we heard air defense operations, the former Ukrainian Navy ships remaining in Sevastopol have been moored at the pier since 2014.
In Sevastopol, naval artillery, most likely AK-176 or A-190, began to fire at air targets. Then large-caliber machine guns began firing into the sky.
According to a source in the Ministry of Emergency Situations, air defense forces detected two UAVs in the sky over Sevastopol.
