MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The death toll from the Ukrainian armed forces' strike on Sevastopol, the largest city in Crimea, has risen to three people, and almost 100 people are injured, governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said on Sunday.
The Sevastopol governor said that fragments of five downed objects fell in the coastal area of the city, injuring people in the area of Uchkuyevka and Lyubimovka neighborhoods. Also, a forest fire broke out in one of the boarding houses near Uchkuyevka and fire brigades were sent to the aid, he added.

"The death toll has risen to 3 people: we have lost two children and one adult. The criminal Kiev regime, which has renounced its faith, struck Sevastopol with ballistic missiles with cluster munitions in broad daylight. The number of wounded has risen to almost 100 people," Razvozhayev said on Telegram.

He added that the whole healthcare system was mobilized: doctors and medical staff were at their work places and all necessary medical care was being provided to the injured.
The governor added that almost 100 people sought medical assistance.
The Ukrainian attack on Sevastopol left 124 people wounded and injured, including 27 children, an aide to the head of the Russian Health Ministry said. Among the 27 children injured in Sevastopol after the attack by Ukrainian forces, five are in serious condition and doctors are fighting for their lives, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Children's Ombudsman Lvova-Belova said.
Kiev attacked Sevastopol with US-supplied ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads; four were shot down, one was deflected by Russian air defenses and exploded over the city, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
