Fragments of a downed missile fell on a Crimean beach
3 people have been killed and more than 100 injured in occupied Crimea as a result of the unprofessional actions of the Russian air defense system.
It is reported that the air alert was activated after the explosions. The Russian military, as usual, claimed to have shot down all aerial targets.
The occupation authorities disregarded the safety of civilians by placing military equipment in places where civilians were gathered, resulting in injuries and deaths.
The Defense Ministry of the aggressor country told RF that the strike on the temporarily occupied Crimea was allegedly carried out by US ATACMS operational-tactical missiles equipped with cluster warheads.
“Therefore, responsibility for the deliberate missile strike on civilians in Sevastopol lies primarily with Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, as well as the Kyiv regime from whose territory this strike was carried out,” the ministry said.
They also stated that “such actions will not remain unanswered.”
Earlier, the Ukrainian military command repeatedly urged Crimean to refrain from resort sites near Russian military facilities.
The population of the occupied peninsula was asked to avoid places of mass gathering of people and to stay away from any Russian military facilities in the annexed Crimea.
Today’s tragedy in Crimea is the result not only of the work of poor Russian air defence systems, but also of the carelessness of citizens who forget that there is a war going on.
