Explosions heard in Crimea at night: the occupants claim to have shot down all ATACMS missiles

On the night of Saturday, May 4, explosions were heard in the temporarily occupied Ukrainian Crimea. The Russian aggressor country's Ministry of Defense claims that their air defense shot down four ATACMS missiles.

The press service of the enemy's Defense Ministry reported this on Saturday morning. They say that during the night, Russian servicemen "foiled the Kyiv regime's attempt" to attack the peninsula "with American ATACMS tactical missiles."

"Four operational-tactical missiles were destroyed by regular air defense systems over the territory of the Crimean peninsula," the Russian Federation claims.

The aggressor state, which launched an unprovoked full-scale war against Ukraine, cynically called it a "terrorist attack."

According to Telegram monitoring channels, the occupiers turned on air raid alarms in a number of settlements.

Explosions were heard in Dzhankoi, Yevpatoriia, Pervomaiske, and Krasnoperkopsk. Details are being clarified.

Earlier, former Lithuanian Foreign Minister and Ambassador to Sweden Linas Linkevičius subtly hinted at the short-lived nature of the Crimean (Kerch) Bridge. Russia responded that the politician would allegedly regret his statements on the "day of judgment".

Earlier, military expert and reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Petro Chernyk said that the illegal Crimean bridge connecting the occupied Ukrainian peninsula with Russia will sooner or later come under attack by the Defense Forces. However, this attack must be well prepared: the volley must be massive because it is necessary to destroy not one or two sections of the crossing at once but more.
