Vessel on fire in occupied Crimea’s Sevastopol

A video circulated on Telegram purportedly shows a burning ship after what is claimed to be a missile attack on the port city of Sevastopol in Russia-occupied Crimea.

Footage was published by the ASTRA online platform, Ukrinform reports.

In the background to the video showing smoke coming from the vessel an eyewitness says the ship was just hit by a missile before going ablaze.

Meanwhile, the Russian-installed "governor" of occupied Sevastopol, Mykhailo Razvozhaev, claimed an anti-ship attack was repelled, adding that “the debris caused a small fire that was promptly put out."

As reported, today, April 21, a series of explosions was reported in Sevastopol while traffic was shut down across the Crimea Bridge connecting the occupied peninsula with mainland Russia.
