Details: According to the correspondent, the first "explosion" was heard at 04:51, it was distant, indistinct and did not resemble the operation of an air defence system.
The second was heard at 06:05, and was louder and clearer, but it was difficult to determine from which direction the sound was coming, while no smoke was visible.
Around 06:45 in Sevastopol, according to the correspondent, chaotic small arms shooting began, approximately from the area of Korabelna or Inkerman and lasted for about one minute, but no explosions were heard this time.
The Russian-controlled "authority" of Sevastopol has not yet commented on these events.
Since August, the sounds of explosions can be heard almost every day in occupied Crimea and Sevastopol. Russian authorities explain this away as the downing of "Ukrainian drones" and "the work of air defence". Against the background of reports of explosions in Sevastopol, shelters began to be checked.
