Drones attacked an Almaz-Antey enterprise servicing Russian air defense systems in temporarily occupied Sevastopol overnight, the Crimean Wind monitoring Telegram channel reported on March 19.
Half of the building was destroyed as a result of the UAV strike, the channel wrote.
At least five drones hit the enterprise.
Windows were shattered in several residential buildings, cars were damaged on a neighboring street, Crimean Wind added.
A heavy police presence and an ambulance were seen near the houses located next to the concern's building.
The so-called Sevastopol governor Mikhail Razvozhayev claimed that "debris from a downed UAV" caused grass and one of the industrial buildings to catch fire.
Russia's Defense Ministry claimed that air defense "intercepted and destroyed" 35 drones over Crimea overnight.
Almaz-Antey concern has a production and technical base in Sevastopol — a service center that maintains and repairs air defense systems. It ensures their combat readiness, works for the needs of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, and has been operating since 2016.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
