The Russian Ministry of Defense claims that on the night of December 5, dozens of Ukrainian drones were “destroyed” over the Sea of Azov and in Crimea.
Initially, the department’s press service stated that Russian air defense forces shot down 22 drones over the Sea of Azov and the territory of Crimea. Another 13 drones, according to the Ministry of Defense, were intercepted.
Soon, the military reported about four more UAVs shot down and two intercepted over the Azov Sea. The Ministry of Defense did not report the consequences of the night attack.
At the same time, residents of annexed Crimea reported a series of explosions in the areas of Kerch , Feodosia and Stary Krym .
Traffic on the Crimean Bridge was stopped for more than four hours; it was resumed in the area at 6:30.
Local authorities have not yet commented on the incident.
The Ukrainian military regularly attacks the territory of the annexed Crimea. Thus, in early November, the Zaliv shipyard named after Butoma in Kerch was hit by a missile, as a result of which one of the ships of the Russian Navy was damaged. It was probably a small rocket ship “Askold”, capable of carrying “Caliber” class missiles.
