"Loud sounds - this is on the outer roadstead - the Black Sea Fleet is repelling a possible attack by underwater sabotage forces and means of the enemy," he wrote.

The Crimean Wind channel reported loud explosions at 3:35 and 3:40 in Sevastopol, as well as the sounds of gunfire. According to the resource, the Russian air defence allegedly tried to shoot down a drone.

It should be noted that in the afternoon of October 23 there were also explosions in Sevastopol. The occupation authorities did not comment on the situation, but local residents wrote that the explosion was so powerful that a "vibration" was felt.
