Explosions in Crimea
On the morning of October 30, Crimea's Telegram channels and public pages reported loud shots in the area of the occupied Sevastopol, as well as the closure of the bay due to explosions. The Crimean Bridge was also closed.
The occupational governor of Sevastopol, Mykhailo Razvozhaev, explained the smoke in the bay as "routine camouflage" used by Russian occupiers. At night, he also claimed that the Russian Black Sea Fleet fired at allegedly Ukrainian UAVs.
Later, it became known that a Russian missile and anti-aircraft regiment near the settlement of Olenivka in the western part of the peninsula was attacked in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
