The occupiers complain about the attack on Crimea.

In temporarily occupied Crimea, this night, October 24, explosions occurred in the areas of Sevastopol, Balaklava and Belbek, where the invaders’ airfield is located. The work of the forces and means of the Russian air defense was carried out.

This was reported by the Crimean Wind Telegram channel and the occupation “governor” of Sevastopol Mikhail Razvozhaev.

It is noted that the explosions on the Russian-occupied Ukrainian peninsula first occurred around 01.20. Later, the representative of the occupation “administration” announced that air defense was operating due to an alleged missile attack.

According to the Gauleiter of Sevastopol, “air defense has worked out” in the city.

“According to preliminary information, the military destroyed 1 missile at a significant distance from the coast over the water area,” he wrote on Telegram.

Razvozhaev also claims that in Sevastopol “no civilian objects in the city were damaged.”

Meanwhile, residents of Crimea have reported online about loud explosions that were heard not only in the Sevastopol area, but also in Balaklava, as well as in the Belbek airfield area and in the Baydarskaya Valley (a closed basin in the southwestern part of Crimea, 40 km southeast of Sevastopol).

As Crimean Wind writes, against the backdrop of statements by representatives of the occupation “administration” about the alleged shooting down of 1 missile, there were at least 5 explosions, namely: 2 from Balaklava to Sevastopol, and 3 more at the Belbek airfield.

In addition, 4 explosions were also heard in the Baydarskaya Valley, and this happened around 01.10. It is noted that the first was quite loud.
