According to reports, Russian air defense units successfully intercepted three Ukrainian long-range cruise missiles, identified as FP-5 “Flamingo,” over the Black Sea.
Sevastopol’s Governor, Mikhail Razvozhayev, stated, “Last night, our military and air defense units repelled the first missile attack from the Ukrainian Armed Forces in a long time against Sevastopol.” He added that the attack did not result in any casualties, nor were there damages to the city’s infrastructure.
Monitoring group “Krymsky Veter” reported that explosions were heard in Yevpatoria and Sevastopol during the incident.
Context
- Ukrainian defense forces have periodically targeted Russian-occupied sites in Crimea, intensifying their attacks recently, which has disrupted Russian military logistics and fuel supplies. This has led to restrictions on gasoline sales in Russia and the temporarily occupied territories.
- In an interview with Reuters published on June 11, Ukrainian UAV Commander Robert Brovdi (Madyar) stated that defense forces aim to isolate Crimea in the near future.
