Explosions were heard in occupied Crimea: an attack on the Belbek and Saki airfields is reported. Photos and videos
On the morning of November 27, explosions were heard in the temporarily occupied Crimea. Locals report the operation of Russian air defense and an attack by drones and missiles.
The Belbek and Saki military airfields are likely to have come under attack. The details are reported by the Crimean Wind Telegram channel, and the work of air defense was confirmed by the governor of the temporarily occupied Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev.
The fact that explosions were heard in Sevastopol became known around 08:30 Kyiv time.
"Russian air defense systems are firing from the Belbek airfield and from the Inkerman area, according to subscribers. It is not known whether the targets have been shot down," Krymskiy Vetr noted.
The air defense work there was almost continuous, which led the authors of the public to assume that Belbek was the main target of the morning attack.
Sevastopol residents also claimed to have heard the sounds of a UAV flying over the northern part of Sevastopol. Less than an hour later, photos of smoke rising over the territory of the Nakhimov Black Sea Military University after the explosions began to appear online.
This institution, which is actively used by the occupiers, is located in the northern part of Sevastopol.
"Pantsir-S1" is firing in Sevastopol in the area of Industrialnaya and Geographicheskaya streets, according to subscribers. 3 launches in 1 minute... Meanwhile, smoke is rising over the naval school in Sevastopol's Streletskaya Bay. The launch of an air defense missile and shooting are heard," Krymskiy Vetr noted.
Almost simultaneously with Belbek, it became noisy in the area of another military facility seized by the Russian Federation.
"Russian air defense is firing at the Saki airfield in Novofedorivka, there were four explosions," Crimean Wind wrote, citing its subscribers.
The work of the Russian air defense system was confirmed by the mayor of Sevastopol Razvozhayev.
"In Sevastopol, the military is repelling the attack of the Ukrainian army, air defense is working. According to preliminary information, two air targets have already been shot down over the water area near the Northern side. All services are on alert," he wrote at 08:39 Kyiv time.
Three minutes later, a message about the air raid alert being canceled appeared on the gauleiter's Telegram channel.
At the same time, z-publics were actively writing that "4 dozen UAVs" were allegedly being recorded over the sea "from Tarkhankut to Sevastopol".
It is noteworthy that the message also contains the statement that "all targets were downed".
"The wreckage of one of the drones fell in the area of Orlivka near the Kachinskoye highway in Sevastopol," the Russians emphasized.
The propagandists also claimed that Belbek, Kacha, Sevastopol, Saky, Novofedorivka, and Simferopol are at risk of a drone attack. They also listed the weapons that they believe Ukraine intends to use to attack Crimea this morning. Among them are Neptune missiles, ballistics and Storm Shadow.
As of 09:30, Crimean Wind reported that "there are many air defense missile launches and explosions in Sevastopol" and that a plane had arrived at Belbek airfield.
No air alert has been declared in the city at the moment, and Rozvozhayev said that "control over the situation continues."
"In Sevastopol, the repulsion of the combined attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces continues. According to preliminary information, 2 UAVs were shot down over the water area near Kacha. Also, according to the information from the Rescue Service of Sevastopol, at the moment there is information about the fall of shrapnel in the area of Orlovka near the Kacha highway," the governor wrote.
Meanwhile, Sevastopol residents reported a massive explosion in the city, preceded by no missile launches, suggesting an arrival somewhere in Sevastopol.
This was followed by a report of an explosion in Belbek.
Loud explosions were also heard in the Balaklava area - according to preliminary data from Crimean Wind, in the vicinity of Kaya Bash heights.
As a reminder, on November 21, Crimea already complained about a large-scale attack by Neptunes. Then explosions were also heard on the temporarily occupied peninsula.
