In a disturbing development, a video circulating on Telegram has allegedly shown a ship engulfed in flames after an apparent missile attack in the port city of Sevastopol, which is currently occupied by Russia in Crimea. The footage, published by the ASTRA online platform, has raised concerns about the escalating tensions in the region.

According to the video, smoke can be seen billowing from the vessel, as an eyewitness claims that the ship was struck by a missile just before catching fire. The exact extent of the damage caused by the attack remains unknown.

Meanwhile, the self-proclaimed "governor" of occupied Sevastopol, Mykhailo Razvozhaev, has asserted that an anti-ship attack was successfully repelled. He further added that the debris from the attack caused a minor fire, which was quickly extinguished.

In the midst of this incident, Sevastopol endured a series of explosions today, April 21. This alarming development forced authorities to shut down traffic on the critically important Crimea Bridge, which connects the occupied peninsula with mainland Russia.

The attack on the ship and subsequent explosions come at a time when tensions have been mounting in the region. The international community will be closely monitoring the situation and waiting for further updates regarding the nature and origin of the attack.

As the investigation progresses, it is imperative for all parties involved to exercise restraint, engage in dialogue, and work towards resolving any disagreements through peaceful means. The safety of civilians in Sevastopol and the wider region must be of utmost importance in these challenging times.
