Loud in Crimea: the Russian Defense Ministry announced a drone attack

At night, explosions were heard in the annexed Crimea. Loud sounds were heard in the Sevastopol area, as well as in the Dzhankoy district.

This was reported by Krym.Realii.

According to media reports, the explosions on the peninsula were reported by the Krymsky Viter telegram channel, citing local residents.

"Loud sounds were heard in the Sevastopol area, as well as in the Dzhankoy district. According to the telegram channel, an air raid was sounded in the military units of the Russian army in Sevastopol," Krym.Realii reports.

At the same time, they note that the Russian Ministry of Defense, in turn, stated that three drones were intercepted over Crimea at night. However, the statements of the Russian authorities need independent confirmation.

Earlier, a representative of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Andriy Yusov, said that the Ukrainian defense forces have a plan to de-occupy Crimea and destroy the Kerch Bridge. However, according to him, Crimea is an important territory for the occupiers in terms of military logistics and supplies. They use the peninsula as a military base.

"We would all like to look at the clock and say that the Crimean bridge will live for another 15 minutes. The reality is more complicated," the intelligence official said.

In addition, the head of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine ,Kyrylo Budanov, said that from a military point of view, it is much easier to recapture Crimea than Donbas, because there are two points of entry to Crimea - from the Russian side and from ours: The Crimean bridge and the land isthmus. Meanwhile, as a result of a successful mission of the Special Forces, the Russian boat "Tunets" was destroyed and three other invaders' boats were damaged.

Eskender Bariiev , Chairman of the Board of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center, also told the press service of the Center that there are many people in Crimea who are waiting for Ukraine. First of all, the connection with Ukraine or association with it means freedom, international law and the opportunity to develop further. However, according to him, it is impossible to say that everyone is waiting for Ukraine.
