Video shows smoke rising in the Russian-occupied peninsula on Wednesday.
A follow up post added that"our geolocation team have confirmed that the missile attack has destroyed a Russian Black Sea Fleet HQ building."
However, the head of the Russian-controlled port city of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, played down concerns and said that Russian air defenses had managed to down missiles and drones in Crimea. A screengrab from social media shows the aftermath of reported explosions in Crimea on September 20, 2023. Missiles and explosions were heard in the occupied peninsula amid reports that a Russian military HQ was hit."Information on possible damage from fallen parts of downed missiles and casualties is being clarified. All operational services are working," he wrote on his Telegram channel.
Russian claims that the drones"were intercepted and that only 'grass' is burning" were"not very likely" added the post, which said that the Kerch bridge between Crimea and Russia, which has been hit by attacks before, was closed.
