On the morning of Saturday, September 9, powerful explosions occurred in the occupied Crimea. This was reported by local telegram channels.
According to residents of the occupied peninsula, two loud explosions occurred near the town of Staryi Krym, located in the south of the peninsula. Almost half an hour after the first explosions, local residents reported two more powerful explosions.
Instead, Russian media reported that the Russian Defense Ministry announced the destruction of three Ukrainian naval drones in the southern part of the Kerch Strait that tried to attack the Crimean bridge.
“During the combat service of the Black Sea Fleet in the southern part of the Kerch Strait, three Ukrainian unmanned semi-submersible boats were detected and destroyed, which tried to attack the Crimean bridge,” the Russian agency said in a statement.
The Russian side also claimed that in the Black Sea to the west of the Crimean peninsula, naval aircraft allegedly destroyed four speedboats carrying landing groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
