Footage circulated on social media showed 2 explosions erupting in Sevastopol following a strike.

The governor reported that one child was injured by shrapnel as a result of the attack. Another victim is a woman who suffered injuries to her arm.

A prior attack in the same city in September 2023 resulted in damage to the historic building housing the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

Last night, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that Russian air defenses intercepted 12 Ukrainian drones over four regions last night and destroyed them.

"This night, attempts by the Kiev regime to carry out terrorist attacks on targets on the territory of the Russian Federation using aircraft-type UAVs were stopped. Air defense systems on duty intercepted and destroyed 12 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles over the territories of Bryansk (5 UAVs), Belgorod (5 UAVs), Voronezh (1 UAV) and Saratov (1 UAV) regions," it said in a statement.

On Wednesday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that since the beginning of the war, Ukraine lost about 71,000 men and 11,000 units of various weaponry.

He further said that the US is highly concerned about the Russian military forces' successes in the special operations zone, citing that it is becoming harder for them to persuade the West to continue funding Ukraine's failed war efforts.

Moscow recently suffered a terrorist attack at its music venue, the Crocus City Hall. None of those detained so far were identified as Russians, yet some were found to have contacts with Ukraine. 

Despite the evidence, Kiev denied Russian allegations.

"The versions of Russian special services regarding Ukraine are absolutely untenable and absurd," Mykhaylo Podolyak, an aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, said in a post on X.
