This incident was reported by Glavpost, referencing the Telegram channel Crimean Wind.
According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, air defense forces shot down 30 Ukrainian drones over the territory of Crimea. Additionally, five drones were destroyed over the Black Sea. As a result of the attack, traffic on the Crimean Bridge was temporarily halted. The "governor" of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev, stated that air defense systems intercepted and destroyed four drones over the Black Sea at an altitude of about 1.5 kilometers, significantly far from the shore.
Eyewitnesses also reported explosions in the vicinity of Dzhankoy, presumably towards the village of Krasnogvardeyskoye, as well as near Saki. Military aircraft were observed taking off from Belbek airfield. In Kerch, locals heard muffled explosions, likely in the area of the village of Bondarenkovo, where, according to them, Russian air defense was operational.
Russian military officials claim that the mass drone launch towards Crimea was carried out from the Odessa region. However, official Ukrainian sources have yet to comment on these events.
This attack is part of a series of recent incidents involving drone usage in Crimea and surrounding regions, indicating escalating tensions in the area.
