| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] In Sevastopol, close to the shore, Emergencies Ministry divers found three submunitions, the department's press service reported on June 27. The specialists began the search after the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a missile strike on Crimea on June 23. By surveying the bottom of the Black Sea in the area of the beach in Uchkuyevka, divers have completed half of the planned work to date. “Two submunitions were found in the water within 24 hours, a total of three since the beginning of the search. They will be destroyed on site while observing security measures,” the department said. It is noted that the work is being carried out by 19 specialists from the underwater demining group. As Regnum reported, on June 23, the Ukrainian army fired five ATACMS operational-tactical missiles with cluster warheads into Crimea: four were intercepted by the air defense system, the warhead of the fifth missile exploded in the air. Four civilians, two of whom were children, were killed and another 153 people were injured. The people killed and injured were on the beaches in the Uchkuyevka and Lyubimovka area at the time of the strike. The Ministry of Defense named the United States as responsible for the strike on civilians. Kiev receives ATACMS from the United States, and American specialists enter flight missions into them, using US satellite intelligence data. The day before, on June 26, the Ministry of Emergency Situations reported the discovery of an unexploded cluster munition in the area of the beaches in Uchkuyevka and Lyubimovka. |
