Russian monitoring channels reported the threat of ballistic strikes on the peninsula, wrote in the Exilenova+ publick. Meanwhile, footage of at least two columns of smoke on the southern coast of occupied Crimea appeared online. Possible arrivals of nine Storm Shadow missiles, according to reports from Russians.

The footage posted by Russians on social media shows two likely points of impact. No other details of the strikes can be seen, as the impact points are located behind the hills. Meanwhile, the cameraman of the video can be heard complaining about shelling and explosions everywhere he visited.
