MOSCOW, June 23 (Reuters) – Russia said on Sunday that the United States was responsible for a Ukrainian attack on the Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula with five U.S.-supplied missiles that killed at least five people including three children and injured 124 more.
The Russian Defence Ministry said four of the U.S.-delivered Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles, equipped with cluster warheads, were shot down by air defence systems and the ammunition of a fifth had detonated in mid-air.
The ministry said U.S. specialists had set the missiles’ flight coordinates on the basis of information from U.S. spy satellites, meaning Washington was directly responsible.
“Responsibility for the deliberate missile attack on the civilians of Sevastopol is borne above all by Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, and by the Kyiv regime, from whose territory this strike was carried out,” the ministry said.
The United States began supplying Ukraine with longer range ATACMS missiles, which have a 300-km range, earlier this year.
Reuters was unable to immediately verify battlefield reports from either side.
Television footage on Russian state television showed people running from a beach and some people being carried off on sun loungers.
Russian-installed authorities in Crimea said missile fragments had fallen just after noon near a beach on the north side of the city of Sevastopol where locals were holidaying.
At least 124 were injured, Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said. The injured included 27 children, five of whom are in a serious condition, authorities said.
RUSSIA VOWS RESPONSE
Russia will respond to Sunday’s attack, the Defence Ministry said, without elaborating. The Kremlin said President Vladimir Putin has been “in constant contact with the military” since the attack on Sevastopol.
Neither Ukraine nor the United States has commented on the attack, which came on a day when Ukraine said one person had been killed and 10 others wounded by Russian strikes on the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.
Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and now views the Black Sea peninsula it as an integral part of its territory, though most of the world considers it still as part of Ukraine.
Putin has repeatedly accused the U.S. of using Ukraine to undermine Russia’s own security – something Kyiv and its Western allies deny – and has warned of growing risks of a direct confrontation between Moscow and the U.S.-led NATO alliance.
Putin sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, in what he cast as a defensive move against a hostile and aggressive West. Ukraine and the West say Russia is waging an imperial-style war of aggression and a land grab.
As if military attacks on Russia weren’t bad enough the US launches terror attacks as well. Then when it gets its nose bloodied it will complain that was uncalled for.

Commie Russia has no moral high ground since they started the war/invasion, responsible for the deaths of thousands/millions of Ukrainian civilians/soldiers. What they don’t tell you though–is that both ‘sides’ NATOUkraine & Russia are actually governed by the same transnational Commie cult of Jew central bankers & rabbis, setting up whites to be liquidated. ‘Nationalism’, exploited by the Jews/Commies, is a major motive to get these millions of white morons to kill each other.
“Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and now views the Black Sea peninsula as an integral part of its territory, though (most of the world considers it as still part of Ukraine).”
Oh, really? Reuters is Rothschild-owned. “Most of the world…” is a blatant LIE! Only Jew-Ruled western nations utter that Bullshit! And Jew media.
Funny how the Jew position is always covered. I guess any opposition must come from the readers.
The BBC have covered this but inevitably had to ‘balance’ it in the very last paragraph, because it is STILL a Political point-scoring Game to them – only All Out War Involving Huge Explosions being visited on Britain will wake these deranged Wokists from their Woke hypnosis :-
‘The UN’s human rights monitoring mission in Ukraine says at least 10,000 civilians have been killed since Russia invaded in February 2022. The real figure, officials say, is likely to be far higher.’
The Russians aren’t going to stop and say – ‘ooh yes, that’s a point – fair enough’ – especially as easily that number have been slaughtered by Ukrainians in the Eastern Regions –

Oh, Moscow “vows to respond”, do they? Chabad Vlad and Russia won’t do jack shit in response. Russia would be doing the world a huge favor by incinerating Washingstein District of Criminals and everyone in it, but the Jews won’t like their property getting torched, unless it’s by them themselves, so Chabad Vlad will do nothing but jack off in the mirror until his reeking, drooling rabbi tells him otherwise.
Krimea belonged since 200 Zar years to russia
and will stay like that . better watch that you Ukras
stay neutral + dont join NAHTOD !
if Russia gave big weapons to Houtties and Hezbollah with target coordinations, the US would think twice about supplying weapons to Russian enemies. they are more willing than the nazi-Ukraine to hit the US which destroyed their nations. but Putin’s peace plan is preferable to the nuclear armageddon plan of the zionists’ Western puppet government.
@ Umbra..
Yes..
….behind the scenes Vlad’s Ukrainian gambit for more purchase at the NWO carving table, went horribly wrong.. mainly because he was advised indirectly by jewish oligarchs tied to the IMF jewes that run the world…
..when of course he thought his spooks could grab an advantage…but of course they aren’t his spooks..as Drumpf also learned to his detriment..spooks work for the IMF (Global banking jewes) they are the priestly magician class…masters of illusion..
Presumably he’ll try to tread water indefinitely.. slowly sinking…
One can only conclude that not only is he a bit of a dwarf and not to be trusted, he’s also fucking stupid… to end up being played like a fine Stradivarius by his handlers…
Of course there are still plenty of hard realists in Russia…they just can’t access Power…
YET…
NB: They will play him just like Hitler….the main difference being Hitler contrary to rumour actually had Two massive balls made of titanium and gave them a run for their shekels..but had no real access to resources… the opposite being true of hehe…’modern’ Russias leadership which has unlimited resources but tiny little gonads cupped by the hands of Rabbi Schneerson..
conversely the Slav lads are very brave albeit being slaughtered for nothing…and on both sides..
