City governor Mikhail Razvozhaev shared a sequence on his official telegraph channel describing how Russian military forces deployed electronic warfare equipment to steer a drone toward the Kara-Koba area near Sevastopol. The drone ultimately landed and detonated on the ground. Razvozhaev stated that alarms were brief and that there was no damage to critical infrastructure as a result of the incident. The account frames the event as a controlled military operation rather than an attack on civilian services, and it notes that no other city facilities were affected.
Razvozhaev added that the landing in the Kara-Koba region was part of a broader operation involving electronic warfare assets. He emphasized that the explosions did not impact shore facilities or port operations, outlining the event as part of defensive actions rather than a strike on city infrastructure.
In his narration, the governor also explained that several loud sounds heard in Sevastopol were linked to routine naval and coastal training exercises taking place in the water area. Among these activities were the use of rocket launchers as part of standard readiness drills designed to maintain regional security.
Earlier, the Ministry of Defense reported that air defense systems intercepted five missiles launched from multiple rocket launch systems (HIMARS) and 44 unmanned aerial vehicles associated with Ukrainian forces. The ministry asserted that these Ukrainian drones were destroyed near the settlements of Kremennaya and Zolotarevka in the Lugansk People’s Republic. Additional aerial activity was noted near Sagi in Kherson, close to Tokmak in Zaporozhye, and near Berestovoe in Donetsk.
Moreover, officials indicated that Russia has recently commissioned a new drone suppression system aimed at countering unmanned aircraft with greater efficiency, signaling ongoing efforts to strengthen defensive capabilities in the region. The deployment of this system reflects a strategic push to enhance air defense and counter small airborne threats as part of broader security measures.
