Russia Evacuates Aircraft from Crimean Airfields Amid Missile Strike on Sevastopol Port

The Crimean port of Sevastopol, under Russian control, experienced a missile strike prompting the activation of air defense systems. One missile was reportedly shot down near the Sevastopol Airport Belbek. Public transportation was temporarily halted, and traffic on the Crimean Bridge was suspended. In response, Russia lifted almost all of its aviation off the airfields in annexed Crimea to avoid becoming targets for incoming missiles.
