TEHRAN, Sep. 13 (MNA) – 24 people sustained injuries as a result of an overnight attack by the Ukrainian armed forces on the city of Sevastopol in Crimea, Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said early Wednesday.
The situation in the air continues to be monitored as all operational services remain on standby, he went on to underscore.
A subsequent release issued by the Russian Ministry of Defense stated the overnight strike by the Kyiv regime included the use of 10 cruise missiles and three drone boats, Sputnik reported.
"Tonight, the Ukrainian armed forces conducted a strike against the shipyard named after Ordzhonikidze in the city of Sevastopol using 10 cruise missiles and attacked a group of ships of the Black Sea Fleet during the movement in the sea using drone boats," the ministry said.
"Air defenses destroyed seven cruise missiles, and the Vasily Bykov patrol ship destroyed all drone boats. As a result of cruise missiles hitting the shipyard, two ships, which were in repair, were damaged."
Over the last several months, Ukraine has repeatedly carried out drone strikes against Russian territory, more recently in the face of its failed counteroffensive.
