Tonight, Crimea's air defense systems were activated after the detection of launches of unidentified cruise missiles. According to Avia.pro journalists, the incident occurred shortly before midnight. It is reported that the missiles were successfully hit by Russian air defense systems, and the explosions occurred near Chernomorskoye. Details of the incident remain unknown, as the source refrained from commenting.

Particularly noteworthy is information about the possible use of so-called decoy missiles, in particular MALD cruise missiles. Their task, according to preliminary data, could be to provoke Russian air defense systems in order to obtain information about their location on the territory of the peninsula. Often, the tactic of using decoy missiles is accompanied by the subsequent use of unmanned aerial vehicles or combat cruise missiles, which increases the risks and requires an instant response from defense systems.

Earlier Avia.pro journalists Reported about the detention in Rostvoy-on-Don of suspects in an attack on a Northern Military District veteran.
