Tragedy Strikes Crimea as Ukrainian Strike Kills Five, Injures Over 100 Beachgoers

A Ukrainian strike on the city of Sevastopol in Russia-occupied Crimea has resulted in at least five deaths and over 100 injuries, according to authorities. The attack, carried out with US-supplied ATACMS missiles equipped with cluster warheads, caused devastation when one missile deviated from its trajectory and exploded over the city. Russian air defenses intercepted four missiles but failed to prevent the fatal explosion.

Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev reported on Telegram that among the victims were three children and two adults who tragically lost their lives. The aftermath of the strike was captured in chilling video footage, showing wounded civilians being evacuated from the beach, some still dressed in swimwear.
