Explosion in Sevastopol result of Ukrainian drone attacks claims occupation authority

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.

Powerful explosions rocked the Crimean port of Feodosia overnight on Dec. 25-26, after which Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk reported a strike on the Russian large landing ship Novocherkassk.

The Ukrainian Air Force later confirmed that the attack was carried out with cruise missiles. It is believed that 77 crew members were on board at the time of the attack.
