Explosions rocked Russian-occupied Crimea late on Feb. 25 amid reports of a drone attack and air defense activity across multiple areas of the peninsula.

The Telegram channel Krymsky Veter reported the incident, stating that blasts and air defense operations were heard in Kerch and Saky.

In response, Russian occupation authorities temporarily halted traffic on the Crimean Bridge.

Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russian-installed governor of Sevastopol, also acknowledged the drone attack, claiming in a Telegram post that local air defenses shot down four UAVs over the sea.
