The Russian Foreign Ministry announced on Monday that it had called US Ambassador to Russia Lynne Tracy to convey disapproval of Kiev's missile assault on Sevastopol.

Using US-made ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads, the Ukrainian armed forces assaulted Sevastopol on Sunday. The Ministry reported that four missiles were downed while a fifth reversed course after being intercepted "with its warhead exploding in the air over the city."

In a statement, the ministry said, "During a conversation at the Russian Foreign Ministry on June 24 with the summoned head of the US diplomatic mission in Russia, Lynne Tracy, a demarche was made in connection with the new bloody crime of the Kiev regime, sponsored and armed by Washington, which launched a targeted missile attack on the civilian population of Sevastopol, accompanied by numerous casualties, including children."

The ministry added that the US' encouragement of the pro-Nazi leadership in Ukraine to launch a military campaign would not go unpunished and that a response would be taken.

5 people, including 3 children, killed and 124 civilians were injured as a result of the Ukrainian Armed Forces attack on Sevastopol.

According to the statement, the US and Kiev share equal blame for the missile strike that targeted Sevastopol's civilian population.

The big picture 

"The responsibility for a deliberate missile strike on peaceful residents of Sevastopol is primarily carried by Washington, which supplied this weaponry to Ukraine," the ministry stated on Telegram, adding that Ukraine utilized ATACMS missiles.

A Ukrainian missile assault on Crimea killed five people, including two children, and injured over 119, according to officials. Fragments struck beachgoers in Sevastopol after at least one missile was intercepted by air defenses and detonated in the sky.

Social media videos show people fleeing the beach after the blasts, with some carrying stretchers.
