Officials in Sevastopol described the fallout from recent events as urgent and consequential, detailing that an attack attributed to Ukrainian armed forces resulted in a portion of a missile landing in the village of Chernorechye. In a public briefing, the governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, provided a structured account of the incident, noting that after a meeting at the operation headquarters, authorities decided to relocate roughly 100 residents, among them 15 children, to safer areas. The evacuation plan, according to the governor, was designed to minimize exposure to potential danger and to safeguard families living in the affected zone.
The governor further stated that the removal of explosive materials would begin on Friday morning, signaling a tightly coordinated response from civil defense and emergency services. This step is part of a broader sequence of safety measures implemented to manage the immediate consequences of the strike and to reduce risk in communities nearby.
Previously, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that Kiev attempted to strike targets within the Russian Federation using air-guided missiles. According to official accounts, Russian air defenses intercepted and neutralized 10 missiles over the Crimean Peninsula, a development described by authorities as a significant defensive success amidst ongoing hostilities. The Defense Ministry emphasized that the defensive actions were conducted to protect civilian infrastructure and to deter further incursions in the region.
Razvozhaev explained that the evacuees would be housed in a temporary accommodation area established to handle a surge in displaced residents. He noted that part of the rocket fell into a river and would be moved to a designated test site for controlled destruction. In the affected district, 47 private houses housed a total of 99 people, including 15 children, and the local administration reported that temporary shelters were prepared and ready for use as needed. The aim was to maintain continuity of living arrangements while safety assessments and debris clearance proceeded in parallel with ongoing monitoring of the situation.
According to monitoring by the Streletskaya Bay management company, no debris or damage to apartment buildings had been detected at the time of the latest review. While information about fragments near residential areas in Pesochnaya Bay had circulated, authorities stated that those reports had not been confirmed by independent assessments. The situation remained under careful observation as authorities coordinated with regional emergency services to ensure a rapid, orderly response should further debris be found or additional threats emerge.
The governor confirmed that the rocket’s impact occurred in the private sector area behind SevSU, with specialists mobilized to begin the process of relocating the projectile to the destruction site the following morning. Earlier, traffic on the Crimean Bridge had been halted to facilitate safety operations and to support the movement of emergency personnel and resources. This disruption was presented as a temporary measure, necessary to preserve public safety during the recovery and clearance efforts.
In related updates, officials noted that there would be no mass events in Crimea during the New Year holidays, a precautionary decision aimed at reducing the risk of gatherings during a period of heightened alert. Authorities stressed that ongoing security and safety protocols would remain in effect as stabilization measures were put in place and the region adapted to the evolving security environment. The information provided reflects statements from local authorities and emergency management agencies as they work to protect residents and maintain public order amid continuing tensions.
