The Russian Defense Ministry said on Wednesday January 31 that it had “destroyed 17 Ukrainian missiles over the waters of the Black Sea and three more over the Crimean peninsula”, annexed by Moscow. Of the “debris” fell on the territory of a “military unit” in Lyubimovka, very close to the city of Sevastopol, he said.
The governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvojaev, claimed that the Russian army had “repelled a massive attack” against his city. He assured that debris from downed missiles had caused damage “minors” to around ten buildings in the locality, but no one had been injured.
Crimea is a favored target for Ukraine because it is very important for the logistics of the Russian army. It is regularly targeted by missile or drone attacks. At the beginning of January, the head of Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR), Kirill Budanov assured that Ukrainian attacks against Crimea would intensify. “In 2023, the first Ukrainian incursions took place in temporarily occupied Crimea, while some thought them impossible. And this is only the beginning”he said in the columns of World.
