Russian officials say at least five killed after air systems intercepted projectile above a busy holiday resortJames Kilner 23 June 2024 • 5:09pm Shrapnel from an intercepted US-made missile fired by Ukraine hit a beach packed with sunbathing tourists in occupied Crimea on Sunday.

Russian officials said at least five people, including three children, had died of shrapnel wounds – and they expected the death toll to rise. A video shot by a tourist on the beach shows a missile coming into view above the nearby city of Sevastopol and then exploding. Shrapnel crashes into the sand in a succession of thuds and bangs, and tourists scream and run. “Run!” one of the tourists shouts.

Russia’s ministry of defence said its air-defence systems had intercepted one of five US-made ATACMS long-range artillery rockets fired by Ukraine at Crimea. It blamed the US for the attack and said that the intercepted missile had been armed with a cluster munition warhead that exploded over the beach.

“Responsibility for the deliberate missile attack on civilians in Sevastopol lies primarily with Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, as well as the Kyiv regime,” it said. “Such actions will not go unanswered.”
(I did a quick search and didn't find it posted yet)
this is so cruel.. the soldiers who followed orders are just as evil
Let's be clear about the sequence of events:
No one "caused" this. No one targeted civilians here. Civilians were caught in the crossfire of two armies which were trying hit legitimate military targets according to the usual rules.
Don't scream "evil" or other nonsense like that. That's what Leftists do because they're emotional animals who are either incapable or unwilling to engage in logic and reasoning. Nothing here was "evil" other than the idiot leader of Ukraine and his backers who refuse to surrender a war which is clearly lost and seek terms for cease fire. It is not incumbent on the winning side to stop, only to offer fair terms, which Putin has.
Say it louder for the people in the back clutching their Ukranian flag pins.
AHHHH Lass, YOU DO HAVE SOME SASS!!!! OUTSTANDING!!!!
The New World Order is trying to start WWIII.
It's odd, it's been many hours since the missiles, but all of my search engines "images" just show the aftermath of Russian missiles hitting the Ukraine. NONE of them have images for what happened today. Almost makes the mainstream media look like they are conspiring.....
I'm sorry, this line is a huge L no matter how to slice it.
"No one caused this" is a retarded statement.
There are so many steps that led to this occuring that should not have happened to begin with, including our armaments being given to another country to wage war.
Ukraine has had two major opportunities to stop this, and they slapped the hand away at the behest of western powers.
so just coincidence?
and the US supplying missiles to an evil Ukrainian government
Yes. And innocents will pay.
i know, who do they think they are, the jews?!
Who is sunbathing and vacationing in a war zone?
The war is a long ways away.
Blame congress and the senate for those killings. WWIII started in 2014 and NATO started it !!!

Lucky they intercepted it, that steel rain would have killed thousands.
The missile that was intercepted did spread shrapnel at a Crimean beach. So far I've heard 4 dead and hundreds injured from the shrapnel: https://youtube.com/shorts/MRl98EBOd-w?si=ImaF2lIs8yemMK6o

Among the 2 kids
A cluster munition deployed over a beach on a sunny day would have killed hundreds of people. This sounds like fragments from the destroyed missile and the interceptor that destroyed it.
"Kyiv regime", I see they aren't directly quoting.
I would deliver our leaders straight to Russia of we could choose new ones.
I'd send them straight to the wood chipper.
The war benefits no one except the criminals looting their country's treasury.

Its called war, this is what happens. If you don't like it, don't start them, don't get involved in them.
