The first report of a "loud explosion" appeared at 12:58 a.m. EET. A second explosion was heard soon afterwards, with only a short interval between them, residents reported.

The explosions were so loud that they could be heard as far away as Yevpatoriya — over 100 km away.

The loud sounds heard in the city were from an automatic air target destruction system flying low over the sea near Sevastopol, occupation “authorities” head, Mikhail Razvozhaev, claimed at 1:43.

He further alleged that no infrastructure was damaged, and that the city remained calm.
