The Russian Defense Ministry said the U.S. is responsible for a Ukrainian attack on the Crimean Peninsula that resulted in at least four deaths.
Russian authorities say the U.S. is responsible for a deadly Ukrainian attack on the Crimean Peninsula on Sunday. At least four people died, including two children, and about 150 were injured after they were hit by falling debris from missiles that were shot down by air defense systems. The Russian Defense Ministry said four Army Tactical Missile System missiles, which the U.S. supplied to Ukraine, were equipped with cluster warheads.
Authorities in Crimea, who were put in place by Russia, said fragments from the missiles fell near a beach in Sevastopol just after noon. The defense ministry accused U.S. specialists of setting up the flight coordinates for the missiles on the basis of information acquired from U.S. spy satellites, pointing the finger at Washington officials for being responsible.
Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Moscow-installed governor of the city of Sevastopol, said 151 people were wounded in the incident. Ria Novosti, a Russian state-owned news agency, reported that 82 of the 151 people were hospitalized, including 55 adults and 27 children. Fox News Digital reached out to the Pentagon for a statement on Russia’s claims.
All public events in Sevastopol were canceled on Monday after Razvozhayev declared a day of mourning. Earlier this year, the U.S. started supplying Ukraine with ATACMS missiles, giving the country the ability to strike targets within a 186-mile range. Reuters contributed to this report.
