According to the "governor" of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, the purported cause of the explosions is supposedly military exercises in Kozacha (Cossack) bay, located 15 kilometers from the city center.
During the exercises, "they are conducting firing with hand-held grenade launchers," the occupant states.
He specifies that the "training will continue until 23:00."
