On the night of April 26, Sevastopol was attacked by strike drones. After a series of explosions in various districts of the city, fires broke out. The Russian governor claimed that 45 drones were shot down, according to OSINT channels.

Attack at an extremely low altitude

The strike UAVs approached their targets at extremely low altitude. At the time of the attack, there was no air raid alert in Ukraine, or it was being canceled.

After the explosions in Sevastopol, fires were recorded in several districts of the city at once.

Details on the targets hit and the extent of damage are being clarified.

Reaction of Russian authorities

The Russia-appointed governor of Sevastopol claimed that 45 drones had been destroyed.

According to Russian authorities, one man was killed, and three others were wounded.

However, the fires recorded after the attack indicate that some of the drones reached their targets.

The Defense Forces of Ukraine have struck an enemy radar station as part of an S-400 air defense system, logistics facilities, and concentrations of Russian occupation troops.

In addition, in recent days, enemy radar stations have been hit in the temporarily occupied territories of Crimea and in the Belgorod region. A Tor-M1 anti-aircraft missile system was also destroyed in the Luhansk region.

Earlier, operators of the Unmanned Systems Forces together with the SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) struck the Alchevsk Metallurgical Plant, halting production there.
