The Russian Federation claims that three ATACMS missiles were shot down over Crimea

In the illegally occupied Crimea by Russia, the Simferopol district and the city of Alushta came under rocket fire tonight.

According to the so-called “governor” of the region Serhiy Aksyonov , two “passers-by” were killed as a result of the strike. He also stated that in the Alushta region “a hit was recorded on an empty commercial object”.

The Russian Federation also claims that three ATACMS missiles were shot down over Crimea. In addition, naval aviation destroyed three unmanned Ukrainian boats in the Black Sea.

At the same time, Ukrainian Telegram channels write that the target of the attack near Alushta was a communications facility in one of the military units of the Russian Federation in the region.

Thus, ATESH partisans reported at night that in Alushta the communications node of the Russian occupiers (military unit 28735) in the village of Sonyaknohorske was hit. This part is an important point of communication and management of the occupiers in Crimea.

“It seems that significant damage was done to the equipment and many occupiers were destroyed. It is likely that the control point of this center was also destroyed,” the report said.

Later, the tg-channel “Crimean Wind” wrote about a fire in the military unit of the FSB in the village of Semidvirya, which is located in the same direction from Alushta as Sonyaknohirske.

Also in the morning, “Crimean Wind” reported that at least 6 ATACMS ballistic missiles hit the communication hub of the radar and anti-aircraft forces of the Russian Federation.

“There is a radio antenna of a space surveillance station and several buildings of the facility at that place. It was they who were struck, where high-ranking servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces were at that time. And the most important thing is systematic strikes against the radar and anti-aircraft forces of the Russian Armed Forces in Crimea.” , – the message emphasizes.

The Ukrainian authorities have not yet officially commented on the event.
