Night explosions in Crimea: drone activity and the work of Russian air defense

During the night and early morning of January 8, explosions and drone activity were recorded in Crimea in the Soviet, Nizhnegorsk, Kirov districts, Feodosia, and Kerch.

According to Censor.NET, this was reported by Radio Liberty with reference to Crimean Telegram channels.

In particular, explosions and drone flights were observed in the Soviet, Nizhnegorsk, and Kirov districts, as well as in Feodosia and Kerch, where Russian air defense systems can be heard. A photo of a crater in the Soviet district, probably caused by a drone crash, also appeared online.
