On February 16, the sounds of explosions were heard in Ukrainian Sevastopol, temporarily occupied by Russia. "Governor" of Sevastopol Mykhailo Razvozhaev reported on Telegram about the work of air defense.
The Crimean Wind Telegram channel clarified that eyewitnesses recorded the first explosions around five in the morning.
"Around 5:00 a.m., several explosions rang out over the areas where Russian military units are located. The strongest explosion occurred at 6:15 a.m.," the report said.
At 5:14 a.m. in the central part of Sevastopol, a rocket launch and the next loud explosion were heard, which "shook the windows," the correspondent of the "Crimea Realities" project clarifies.
After that, Rozvodzhaev said that the occupiers' air defense system was operating over the city and the occupied peninsula and that all the drones were allegedly shot down.
"Starting at night, the attack on the peninsula began. In the Sevastopol zone, air defense and the Black Sea Fleet shot down two out of two Ukrainian drones over the sea. Several more UAVs were shot down in the water area - in the zone of the Republic of Crimea," he claims.
The Ukrainian military did not comment on the explosions in Crimea.
