Quote: "Crimea. Olenivka. Two hours ago, an anti-aircraft system was activated on the outskirts."
Details: A representative of the occupiers also posted a video, probably taken on Saturday night in Olenivka at the festival Extreme-Crimea, which shows a large gathering of people.
At the same time, according to one of the local Telegram channels, the air defence system over Olenivka was activated twice.
Background: On early 20 August, another explosion occurred in Sevastopol, and the occupying authority reported that a drone was downed over the HQ of Russia’s Black Sea fleet.
Explosions were also heard in Zaozerne village, not far from the town of Yevpatoriia. The occupiers claimed that the air defences were up, and the target was shot down.
