Russian-installed authorities in Sevastopol claimed their air defense intercepted five aerial targets, accusing Ukraine of the attack. However, debris reportedly killed three and injured about a hundred.
The Russian Defense Ministry stated Sevastopol was attacked with ATACMS missiles, claiming four were shot down and one exploded mid-air.
Ukraine has not yet commented on the incident.
Recent weeks have seen successful Ukrainian strikes on Russian air defenses in the region. Experts suggest Ukraine is clearing airspace in preparation for F-16 deployments.
