Since the beginning of April 30, a series of explosions have been heard in a number of settlements in the temporarily occupied Crimea, after which supporters of the invaders claimed that "ballistics" were flying at them. Some tried to calm the panic online with assurances that air defense was working.

Information about loud noises was spread by local publics. There was no official confirmation from the so-called authorities, but the night before, Crimeans were informed that missiles and UAVs could fly to the peninsula.

"Crimea and Sevastopol, be careful of UAVs all night long! Missile dangers are also high," the propagandists wrote shortly before midnight.

At night, they began to talk about the work of Russian air defense, claiming that it "shot down several air targets over different parts of the peninsula."

"The first explosions occurred at about 01:25, with more than ten powerful 'pops' in total," the authors of the posts claimed, without specifying the consequences.

Against this background, traffic on the Crimean bridge was temporarily blocked on the peninsula. In local chat rooms, residents of Dzhankoy, Oktyabrske, Hvardiyske, Simferopol, Azovske, Novofedorivka, and other towns and cities complained about a series of explosions.

In particular, residents of Dzhankoy even reported seeing a fire in the area of the airfield, as well as a "dark orange-tinted nemo".

"Crimea is being hit with ballistic missiles. Simferopol is also suffering, air defense is working", "Don't panic, everything is fine, air defense shot down everything", "I saw a very big fire", "You can see very strong explosions and traces of missiles", "Half of Crimea heard", "Yes, the whole south, including Crimea", - Russian minions kept sharing.

They kept repeating the phrase "air defense systems hit their targets," but neither the "authorities" nor the Russian aggressor country's Defense Ministry officially commented on the "cotton" on the peninsula.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, on the night of April 28, explosions occurred in Dzhankoy and Cape Tarkhankut in the temporarily occupied Crimea. The attacks were probably targeted at Russian air defense units and systems.
