Blast in Sevastopol Apartment Building Leaves One Dead, Twelve Injured

(MENAFN) An explosion at a residential building in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol, a region illegally annexed by Russia in 2014, has killed one person and injured 12 others, according to Russian-installed officials on Tuesday.

Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russian-installed governor of Sevastopol, stated that experts have officially ruled out a gas explosion as the cause of the blast, which occurred Monday night.

“Forensic experts, bomb experts, specialists from the Investigative Committee, and the FSB (Federal Security Service) are currently working at the scene. Law enforcement agencies will determine the exact cause after all examinations are completed,” he wrote on Telegram.

Razvozhayev added that the shockwave from the explosion caused significant damage to the building across the street and said the situation is under the full control of federal agencies.

“Unfortunately, one woman has died,” he wrote, offering condolences to the family and friends.

“One person remains missing. Currently, 12 Sevastopol residents are in hospitals, including three children.”

Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 has not been recognized by the international community, including Türkiye.
