Explosions were reported across Russian-occupied Crimea for several hours on Friday, following an attack carried out with Ukrainian drones and unmanned sea vessels.
The information comes from Ukrainian open-source intelligence (OSINT) channels, which track military activity and related incidents both along the front line and in Russian-controlled territories.
Details of the attack
According to available information, the strike involved both aerial drones and unmanned sea craft — vessels Ukraine has increasingly used in recent times to hit maritime targets and coastal infrastructure. The explosions in Crimea reportedly continued over several hours.
The source report does not provide further detail on specific targets, possible damage, or casualties.
Crimea, annexed by Russia in 2014 and not internationally recognized as Russian territory, has repeatedly come under Ukrainian attack since the start of the full-scale war, including strikes on military facilities, ports, and infrastructure on the peninsula.
