Black Sea Fleet repels drone attack on Sevastopol - Russian-backed governor

Russia's Black Sea Fleet is repelling a drone attack on the Crimean port of Sevastopol in the early hours of Monday, the Moscow-installed governor of the city said through social media. "All services of the city are on alert." Sevastopol, along with the rest of the Crimean peninsula, was annexed by Russia in 2014, but is internationally recognised as part of Ukraine.

Russia's Black Sea Fleet is repelling a drone attack on the Crimean port of Sevastopol in the early hours of Monday, the Moscow-installed governor of the city said through social media. "Our fleet is now repelling an attack by surface drones ...," the governor, Mikhail Razvozhaev, wrote on the Telegram messaging app. "All services of the city are on alert."

Sevastopol, along with the rest of the Crimean peninsula, was annexed by Russia in 2014, but is internationally recognised as part of Ukraine. There was no immediate reaction from Ukraine. Kyiv almost never publicly claims responsibility for attacks inside Russia and on Russian-controlled territory in Ukraine.
