Details: Local media reports that the residents of Sevastopol heard explosions near Cape Fiolent. There is reportedly smoke near the Balaklava Thermal Power Plant.

Razvozhaev claimed this was caused by "the operation of air defence". Russia-controlled channels back these claims as usual.

Razvozhaev claimed that Russian air defence had allegedly downed four air targets above the water area and near Balaklava.

He claimed that wreckage fell on the Balaklava district and the coastal area, and information about the aftermath is being established.

At the same time local Telegram channels report smoke rising after the explosion.
