Sevastopol – In the war in Ukraine, the defenders have continued their attacks on the annexed Crimean peninsula. Mikhail Razvozhaev, the Russian-appointed mayor, announced that the Russian army had shot down more than 15 drones over the sea near the port city of Sevastopol. He stressed that despite the attack, no facilities in the city, which has been under Russian control since 2014, had been damaged. However, falling fragments had damaged a truck.
Attack in the Ukraine war: Defenders increasingly attack Crimea – Russia reacts
Four weeks ago, a Ukrainian missile exploded over a public beach near the Sevastopol naval base. According to local authorities, at least four people were killed and over 150 injured. Since the start of the extensive invasion two years ago, Russia has used Crimea as a base for supplies and attacks on Ukraine. Thanks to Western military aid and better weapons, Ukraine has been able to intensify its attacks on Crimea in recent months.
The range of their combat drones has expanded so much that they can increasingly attack targets in the Russian hinterland in order to prevent or hinder military supplies. As a result of the attacks in the Ukraine war, Russia even had to withdraw its Black Sea fleet from Crimea. The losses from the drone attacks were too great. Meanwhile, Ukraine is about to receive the F-16 delivery.
Fighting reported in Ukraine war: Russia attempts new advance in the east
In the east of Ukraine, in the Donetsk region, Russia’s armed forces have attempted to advance towards the metropolis of Kramatorsk in a series of attacks. According to information from the General Staff in Kiev, a total of 22 attacks on various front lines had been repelled by Monday evening. Russia is also said to be increasingly relying on air strikes in the attacks in the Ukraine war. At least eleven attacks were registered by the evening hours.
According to its own statements, the Ukrainian army was able to stop all Russian advances. However, this information could not be independently verified. On the outskirts of Donetsk, the Ukrainian battlefield reconnaissance, according to its own statements, discovered a tactical short-range air defense system “Tor”, according to the Unian agency. Shortly afterwards, the system was destroyed by an American Himars rocket artillery system. This information could not be independently verified either. (fbu)
