Russians declared an air raid alert in temporarily occupied Crimea, reporting a missile attack on the peninsula, according to the self-proclaimed governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev.

An air raid alert was declared across the peninsula. Explosions were reportedly heard in Feodosia, Zaozerne, and several other settlements.

Sevastopol's self-proclaimed governor, Mikhail Razvozhayev, reported the air raid alert in the city for the second time that evening. Earlier, he had claimed everything was calm and that locals were only hearing Russian naval training exercises involving various types of weapons.

Russian Telegram channels claimed, as usual, that Crimea was under attack by unidentified drones and missiles.

SBU attacked the Crimean Bridge on June 3

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) carried out another unique operation, striking the Crimean Bridge for the third time.

According to the SBU, the operation had been in preparation for several months. Initially, SBU agents planted explosives on the bridge's supports, and at 4:44 a.m. today, the first explosive device was detonated — without causing any civilian casualties.

Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Vasyl Malyuk, personally oversaw the operation and coordinated its planning.
