Drones attack Sevastopol as explosions reported across peninsula

Local residents reported a loud explosion and gunfire near Cape Fiolent in Sevastopol. Air raid alarms were activated at military units across the city, Crimean Wind reported.

Explosions were also reported in Feodosia, Yevpatoria and other cities across Russian-occupied Crimea.

Russian Telegram channels reported that Russian occupation authorities closed the Crimean Bridge for about two hours overnight.

About 600 to 700 vehicles were reportedly waiting to cross the bridge from both directions as of the morning of June 27.

Ukraine’s Security Service, or SBU, struck targets in Kerch on June 26, damaging two Russian military support vessels and air defense systems, according to Ukrainian reports.

The strikes were carried out as part of a 40-day operation targeting Russia that was approved by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the reports said.

Russian-installed authorities in Crimea also introduced a state of emergency on June 26 amid worsening fuel shortages and power outages on the occupied peninsula.
