Overnight drone attacks reported in Sevastopol

Two drones attacked the city of Sevastopol in the early hours of 24 April, as per local governor Mikhail Razvozhayev. 

“As of now, the situation is: one surface drone was destroyed by anti-submarine and sabotage defence, the second one blew up by itself. All of this happened in the outer roadstead, no facilities suffered damages,” he wrote in a Telegram post. 

Furthermore, a video has spread online — in it, one can see a flash and hear rattling sounds from, presumably, the drone crashing.

According to Razvozhayev, the attack began at 3:30 AM. Currently, the situation is calm in the city, but all forces are in a state of alert, the governor added.

Ukraine has not commented on the incident. 

The last time Razvozhayev reported repelling a drone attack was on 22 March. “In total, by this hour three [drones] had been destroyed. They were trying to penetrate the bay, our sailors fired at them from firearms,” he said back then.
