Situation in Sevastopol
In recent months, explosions have been heard more and more frequently in various cities of the temporarily occupied Crimea, including Sevastopol.
On the evening of October 18, a state of emergency was declared in Sevastopol after explosions were heard in the area near the settlement of Saharna Holovka. Later, it was revealed that there were at least four depots with Russian weaponry near the settlement, including missile systems.
