Explosions in Feodosia

This evening, explosions were heard not only in Alushta but also in the Crimean region. Earlier, the sounds of explosions were reported by residents of the occupied Feodosia in the eastern part of the peninsula, where a fire started.

The so-called "head" of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, claimed that air defense systems allegedly had shot down a missile in Feodosia. However, there were reports online suggesting that drones were shot down. Local Telegram channels also reported that ambulances had been dispatched from Feodosia towards Primorskoye.
