In the occupied Sevastopol, an explosion was heard near the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet

In the morning, an explosion sounded in the occupied Sevastopol. Local residents report a column of smoke. The headquarters was cordoned off by emergency services, and residents are asked not to go out.

The "Governor" of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, said that the building of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation was attacked by a Ukrainian UAV. He announced this on Telegram.

Unfortunately, he was not shot down, although they worked on the bay with small arms. Went low. There are no victims,” Razvozhaev wrote on Telegram.

Journalist Andrei Tsaplienko published on his Telegram a photo of firefighters near the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol.

Later, the version of the explosion from the occupation authorities of Sevastopol changed.

Clarification: the drone was completed by the PVN, (fleet air defense post). They shot down an UAV right above the fleet headquarters. It fell on the roof and caught fire. The defeat failed. Well done guys,” wrote Razvozhaev.
