A Ukrainian missile attack on the Russian-annexed city of Sevastopol in Crimea has resulted in the deaths of three people, including a two-year-old child, and left nearly 100 others wounded. The attack, which involved the use of ATACMS missiles with a cluster warhead, struck a beach in Sevastopol. According to the Moscow-appointed governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, the number of casualties includes 27 children, with five in critical condition. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that four ATACMS missiles were intercepted, but one missile deviated from its flight path, causing the explosion. The incident has heightened tensions in the region, with both sides exchanging accusations over the strike.
