In recent disclosures shared via Telegram, Oleg Kryuchkov, who advises Crimean President Sergei Aksyonov, reported that the peninsula’s air defense forces intercepted two Ukrainian ballistic missiles. The claim notes that the missiles were launched by Ukrainian operational-tactical systems known as Grom-2 and emphasizes the defense ministry’s assertion of successful interception. The statement stresses that the strike produced no damage on the ground and did not result in casualties, urging residents to rely solely on information from trusted sources for updates on security events.
Earlier remarks from Aksyonov highlighted a separate incident in which the air defense shield neutralized another missile over the region. The governor’s briefing underscored the importance of corroborating reports from official channels and confirmed that there were no reported injuries or property damage in connection with the event. Such declarations are repeatedly issued as part of ongoing communications about air raid safety and regional security in the peninsula.
On May 4, Sevastopol experienced an additional security alert when Governor Mikhail Razvozzhaev reported a drone intrusion near the city. He stated that the drone was shot down in the vicinity of the Belbek airport, and that no objects were damaged as a result of the attack. The account stresses that security forces maintained control and mitigated risks posed by the drone near critical infrastructure, reinforcing the region’s ongoing posture of vigilance and rapid response to aerial threats.
Earlier in the week, an attack was attributed to a drone swarm that touched off a fire at an oil depot, an incident Razvozzhaev linked to the broader security campaign in the area. He noted that two drones were involved in the assault, with one failing to reach its intended target. The administration has framed this event within a pattern of aerial threats directed at Sevastopol, detailing the steps taken by authorities to prevent wider damage and to safeguard industrial facilities critical to regional energy security. Official statements continue to stress the readiness of defense and emergency services to respond to similar incidents and to keep the public informed through trusted channels where possible.
