Razvozhayev claimed that as of the evening of 23 June, four people, including two children, were killed in the strike om Sevastopol, 151 people sought medical assistance, and 82 were taken to hospital.
On the morning of 24 June, Razvozhayev said that they were “resolving the issue” of transporting 15-20 people who were injured to Moscow.
Background:
- The Russian Ministry of Defence reported an attack supposedly “on the civilian infrastructure of the city of Sevastopol with US-supplied ATACMS tactical missiles”.
- The Russian Ministry of Defence also acknowledged that civilian casualties were caused by the Russian air defence operation. Thus, one of the missiles “deviated from the flight path with the explosion of the warhead in the air above the city.” Missile pieces fell in several areas of Sevastopol, including the beach.
