Five killed while defusing explosive device in Russian-controlled Sevastopol, governor says

Cinque persone sono morte mentre cercavano di disinnescare un ordigno esplosivo a Sebastopoli, città sotto il controllo russo, secondo quanto riferito dal governatore


Aug 13 (Reuters) - Five people were killed while trying to defuse an explosive device in Sevastopol, the largest city in Russian-controlled Crimea, regional governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said on Thursday.

He said four emergency service bomb disposal specialists and a security guard were carrying out clearance work following a Ukrainian drone attack on the city when the explosion occurred.

Both sides have stepped up air attacks in the fifth year of the full-scale war that Russia launched in 2022. Russia’s Defence Ministry said its air defence units shot down or intercepted 362 Ukrainian drones overnight across a number of Russian and Russian-controlled regions, including Crimea, which Moscow seized and annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
