On September 20, smoke was seen in the occupied city of Inkerman as the Russians activated a smoke screen. Later, explosions were heard near Sevastopol. The occupying authorities claimed it was the work of air defense systems. According to their statements, downed drones fell near Verkhnyosadove and Kacha, resulting in fires.
