Details: An air-raid warning was issued in Sevastopol.

The Crimean Wind said "explosions and [missile] launches [are observed] in Sevastopol, a facility caught fire in the vicinity of the Kozacha Bay".

The Crimean Wind also shared footage that appears to confirm the reports.

Several Kremlin-aligned Crimea-based Telegram channels said Sevastopol was hit by missiles.

Updated: Later, Mikhail Razvozhaev, the so-called "Governor of Sevastopol", said that "there were no explosions in the city," and air defence was not activated in Sevastopol.

"The air defence forces were on alert, but no air targets reached us today. This is a way for enemy channels to hype and keep the audience in suspense," he wrote.
