The Moscow-installed head of the Russian authorities in annexed Crimea's biggest city, Sevastopol, claimed on May 7 that more than 10 drone attacks targeted the peninsula overnight, but nothing in the city itself was damaged. Mikhail Razvozhayev wrote on Telegram that air-defense and electronic-warfare units repelled the attack. An adviser to Razvozhayev, Oleg Kryuchkov, claimed a day earlier that Russian air-defense forces downed two Ukrainian Grom-2 ballistic missiles over Crimea. RFE/RL could not confirm the veracity of the reports, which have accompanied Russian accusations of airborne attacks inside Russia, including at the Kremlin, this week.
