Russian forces reportedly repel naval surface drone attack in Sevastopol Bay
Russia’s Black Sea Fleet repelled an attack from multiple naval surface drones in the Sevastopol Bay Wednesday morning, according to Mikhail Razvozhayev, the annexed city’s Russian-installed governor.
“In total, three objects have been destroyed as of this hour. They tried to infiltrate the bay, [but] our seamen opened fire on them from small arms. An air defense system also fired at an air target,” he wrote on Telegram.
According to Razvozhayev, nobody was injured and no military vessels were damaged, though the explosions from the strikes against the drones did break windows in some nearby buildings.
Earlier, local residents reported hearing explosions in Sevastopol. The city’s road infrastructure development directorate wrote on Telegram Wednesday morning that ferry service in the city had been suspended.
