On the night of August 21st, the residents of the city reported explosions and a fire on social media.

It was reported that Military Unit No. 95408 of the Russian Black Sea Fleet had been attacked. According to analysts, a unit of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is currently stationed there.

Later, satellite data from NASA Firms, which tracks fires worldwide, confirmed the fire in the area.

The occupation authorities later claimed it was just a training exercise at the military unit. However, users in local groups commented that they had been being taken for fools, as reported by Astra.

“The loud sounds heard near the Military Construction Workers’ Street in the area of the military unit were part of a training exercise conducted by the Black Sea Fleet together with emergency services (EMERCOM, police, ambulance, and Sevastopol Rescue Service) to practice firefighting and emergency response. For obvious reasons, such exercises are not announced in advance. Only trust official information,” wrote the so-called governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev.

Last summer, partisans in temporarily occupied Crimea located one of the units of the Russian GRU.

In the Telegram channel of the partisan movement ATESH, it was stated that it referred to the territory of Military Unit No. 95408, located on Voyennykh Stroitelyei Street in Sevastopol.

Earlier, satellite images confirmed the strike on the Russian TRLK-10 Skala-M radar in temporarily occupied Crimea.
