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.
