Details: The Russian Defence Ministry claims that all the missiles were supposedly downed. However, the ministry, as usual, did not provide any evidence to support this statement.
Background:
- On the night of 15-16 August, the Russians reported that traffic on the Crimean Bridge was suspended, but it resumed just four hours later. Additionally, Telegram channels reported explosions in Chornomorske and Kamianka near Simferopol, as well as air-raid warnings and shooting in Feodosiia.
- Later, the Russian Defence Ministry said that several uncrewed surface vessels and drones attacked temporarily occupied Crimea on the night of 15-16 August.
