"Explosions and Retaliatory Strikes Escalate Tensions in Crimea"

Crimea experienced multiple explosions, which Russia labeled as a "terrorist" attack by Ukraine. Around 10 explosions were reported in Sevastopol, with a Ukrainian missile hitting a military unit and another being intercepted. Ukrainian forces claimed to have struck a Russian military command. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that 10 Ukrainian missiles were destroyed, and Sevastopol's Governor confirmed missile fragments hit the city. Ukrainian President Zelensky emphasized Crimea's strategic importance, while Russia continues to retaliate for attacks on its territory. Newsweek has sought further comments from the Russian Defense Ministry.
