The Russian proxy leader in Sevastopol in occupied Crimea, Mikhail Razvozhayev, claimed on the evening of March 23 that "10 missiles were shot down" over the city during an ongoing attack.

The announcement came amid claims on Telegram channels about explosions and rising smoke in Sevastopol.

The Kyiv Independent could not verify the claims. Ukrainian officials usually do not comment on alleged attacks in occupied Crimea.

The Crimean Wind Telegram channel published multiple videos and photos capturing projectiles, explosions, and smoke rising above the city.

According to Crimean Wind, explosions were heard also in the Balaklava district, and a fire was reported near an airport in Simferopol. The channel said that the supposed attack in Sevastopol is ongoing as of 10:45 p.m.

How’s “Impenetrable Fortress Avdiivka” doing?
And Ghost of Kiev, he’s doing well?

Ghost of Kiev stronk, like bull!

Promoted to submarine.

Those were cruise missiles. Glide bombs haven’t the range to hit Ukrainian infrastructure, without putting the attack aircraft at risk. Russian glide bombs are frontline weapons.

Agitprop! Of course Russia occupies its own territory. Did you expect Greeks to live there?!

Get your parade uniform ready!

Hits in that area are transmission/distribution infrastructure, and that is generally quickly repairable. A hydro powerhouse is more significant as that may not be so quickly repairable.

I explained the nature of electric system tiers of vulnerability the last time the Russians tried a campaign vs the Ukrainian electric system, back in late 2022.

Russia is going to launch another cruise missile strike on Ukraine tonight. Right now, 10 strategic bombers en route to their launch lines.

Well, the Greeks did establish the colony of Chersonisos in Tauris aka Crimea in the 5th century B.C. It was later called Sevastopol. Greek descendants live there to the present.

Good job on your history! (I knew that too…just being difficult)

[janetjanet998]

At least a dozen Tu-95 Russian bombers now in the air

Should be firing range in a few hours for cruise missiles launches

[buwaya]

That sounds likely.

“Russia claims missile attack on Sevastopol in occupied Crimea”

Russia claims they attacked Sevastopol? Is anyone going to tell them the Ukrainians haven’t taken it back yet? LOL!

[janetjanet998]

Air alerts Kyiv

14 total bombers (the most I can remember for an attack )

Plus likely land and sea launches

And drones
