Meanwhile, the claimed Ukrainian attack was a convenient excuse for fake "Sevastopol Gov." Razvozhaev to cancel "all festivities" for today's celebration of "Russian Navy Day".

With Russia's Black Sea Fleet's flagship Moskva sunk in April, Russians didn't plan a parade of its navy ships in the Sevastopol bay, but a number of public events were going to be attended by the flleet's top bras.

🇷🇺Black Sea Fleet claims it was a "makeshift drone": "In Sevastopol, on the premises of the Black Sea Fleet HQ, as a result of triggering a low-strength explosive device installed on a makeshift UAV" 5 were injured by shattered glass.

Unconfirmed local reports on social media mention a small white commercial quadcopter with a "small rocket" that flew over the city shortly before the explosion.

Social media users speculated that it could have been another instance of Ukrainian partisan activities or just a cheap way for the occupation authorities and navy to hide the fact of the embezzlement of the funds previously allocated for the celebration of the Russian Navy Day.

Locals shared a video of an alleged explosion in the Russian Black Sea Fleet HQ's courtyard in Sevastopol

"Just now an amateur plane has crashed, downtown Sevastopol," the narrator says.

Ukraine's Navy: "Actually, the enemy didn't risk celebrating the Russian navy day, but to avoid the shame in front of the whole world, fearing the Ukraine's Armed Forces, invented an excuse to cancel the events on the occasion of the so-called holiday" t.me/ukrainian_navy…

Illegally elected "Russian senator" from occupied Crimea, Olga Kovitidi, said that the Black Sea Fleet HQ was attacked by a drone from within the temporarily occupied city of Sevastopol.

There's a possibility that 🇷🇺troops arranged attack in Sevastopol themselves to escalate war - Chubarov
