Explosions in Crimea on June 12: what is known
On June 12, explosions in the Crimea began to rumble at 02:47 in Sevastopol.
Immediately after that, the occupiers closed the illegally built Kerch bridge.
Meanwhile, the so-called governor of Sevastopol Mykhailo Razvozhaev announced the work of air defense and announced the transfer of all services to a state of combat readiness.
At 02:50 it became loud already in Yevpatoria, Saki and Krasnoperekopsk.
The explosions subsided in about ten minutes.
Traffic on the bridge was restored already at three o’clock in the morning.
At 03:16, Razvozhaev got in touch again to report the apparent repulse of the attack.
The “governor” claims that “all air targets were destroyed high in the sky, most of them above the water area.” The type of downed missiles is allegedly being established.
Razvozhaev assured that despite reports of discovered wreckage, no objects were damaged and no one was injured.
Instead, the sources of the Krymsky Veter community reported on possible damage or damage to the S-400 anti-aircraft missile complex near Sevastopol.
By the way, around four in the morning at least two more explosions rang out in Armyansk.
However, the occupiers did not react to this.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is still silent about the night explosions in Crimea.
