Explosions heard in occupied Crimea and smoke seen in the area of Sevastopol Bay: what happened

Explosions were heard in temporarily occupied Crimea since the morning of August 9. Residents of the Dzhankoy district also report acrid smoke rising near Sevastopol Bay. The occupants have stopped traffic on the Crimean Bridge.

Russian media write about it. Sevastopol Gauleiter Mikhail Razvozhayev tried to assure Crimeans that the explosions and smoke were the consequences of "exercises," but they did not believe him much.

Russian media began reporting about the suspension of traffic on the Crimean Bridge at about 9:30. Residents of the Dzhankoy district of temporarily occupied Crimea complained of explosions just half an hour later.

Crimeans also spoke about choking acrid smoke rising in the area of Sevastopol Bay.

Gauleiter of temporarily occupied Sevastopol Mikhail Razvozhayev explained that these were "fleet exercises".

"If you see smoke in the area of Sevastopol Bay, don't worry. It's the Navy conducting a training session on RChBD calculations. Everything in the city is under control," a representative of the occupational "authorities" wrote.

Crimeans had a slightly different opinion on the matter, which they shared in the comments under his Telegram post.

"Wow, exercises. The whole center, railway and auto station in acrid smoke, you can't even see a ship behind it", "It's impossible to breathe! Children are coughing. What kind of training is this?", "Exercises on poisoning people? You can smell the burning on Prospekt Peremoha", "You can warn about the training in advance, not when something has already happened", "Chemical smell in the apartments. The city center is in smoke. It's impossible to breathe. The wind is in the direction of the city", "Smoke is visible and smells like rubber", commentators wrote.

Ukrainian soldiers earlier struck Chonhar and Henichensk bridges. They were damaged. The occupiers are now forced to supply their groups on the mainland of Ukraine using the route through Armiansk and Chaplynka, which doubles the travel time.
