Media: Drones shot down over Crimea.
Drones were shot down over Russian-occupied Crimea overnight on May 7, the Baza online news outlet reported[1] on Telegram. The post said that at least one of the drones was shot down over Sevastopol and fell down near Cape Fiolent, causing shrapnel to explode around 70 meters away. No casualties were reported.
The Ukrainian government has not commented on the drone attacks. Mikhail Razvozhaev, the head of the illegal Russian occupation government of Sevastopol, said[2] the city was attacked by drones on May 1. Russia has occupied Crimea since it annexed[3] the peninsula in 2014 in the wake of the EuroMaidan Revolution[4] that ousted then-President Viktor Yanukovych.
