Plumes of smoke were spotted over the Gulf of Shoals and around Sevastopol. The head of the occupation city authorities, Michael Razvozhayev, confirmed that this resulted from military actions that "employ tactical means of camouflage".

Ukrainian journalist Andriy Tsapliyenko posted an online video showcasing the Russians' responses to the sirens.

Russian authorities also signaled an alleged attack on the Belgorod region. "According to Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, ten airborne targets were intercepted, resulting in two injuries," reported Belsat in the X news service.
