Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said that several Ukrainian airborne targets had been downed by Russian air defenses on Thursday according to preliminary reports. He also urged city residents to remain indoors to avoid getting injured by debris from the falling missiles and drones.
"The military is repelling an attack of the Ukronazis. According to preliminary information, several air targets have already been shot down. All services have been brought to a state of combat readiness. Sevastopol rescue service at the moment does not register damage to infrastructure," Razvozhayev wrote in a Telegram post.
The governor added that a house on Glukhova Street was reportedly damaged by shrapnel and at least one person was injured.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Kiev forces carried out the attack using guided air-to-ground missiles.
The attack was successfully thwarted by Russian air defenses that shot down ten Ukrainian missiles over the Crimean Peninsula, the ministry added.
