"At around 07:50, several explosions were heard in the center of Sevastopol, as reported by our subscribers. While it may be part of a training exercise, accurate information is not yet available," the message reads.
Later, it was revealed that the occupiers had launched a smoke screen over Sevastopol Bay.
