Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev posted an update on his Telegram channel detailing how air defense units and electronic warfare systems of the Russian Federation repelled a nighttime drone attack aimed at Sevastopol. The account notes that several Ukrainian UAVs were involved in the strike late Sunday, May 7, and emphasizes that decisive measures were taken to neutralize the threat. Razvozhaev explained that one drone lost control within a five-kilometer corridor and crashed into the forest belt, where personnel from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Emergencies located the wreckage. A second drone was maneuvered to crash into the sea near the Hersones Cape area, while a third fell into the sea close to the North Pier. The governor also mentioned that ten drones targeted the Crimea and Sevastopol during the overnight operation, underscoring the scale of the attempted intrusion and the vigilance of local security services. The official confirmed that there were no damages to urban facilities and stressed that all city services continued to monitor unfolding events and respond as needed, maintaining a steady posture of readiness. This briefing follows Razvozhaev’s previous update on May 4, when he noted his presence near Belbek airport and reported the destruction of a reconnaissance asset known as the Flying Eye. Razvozhaev concluded with assurances that security teams were keeping watch and coordinating ongoing efforts to ensure public safety and swift incident assessment, with authorities ready to adapt to any new developments.
