Four Russian pyrotechnicians and a guard killed in Sevastopol

On August 13, a series of tragic events unfolded in Sevastopol, Russia, resulting in the deaths of four Russian pyrotechnicians and a security guard. According to Mikhail Razvozhaev, the puppet governor of the occupied city, the victims were allegedly inspecting a site following a Ukrainian attack. The bodies of the deceased Emergency Ministry employees were discovered near their damaged vehicle, located close to the Sevastopol 330-kilovolt power substation.

The bodies were eventually removed, though the vehicle remained at the scene. Earlier that day, Crimean Wind reported a drone attack on the Balaklava thermal power plant. Razvozhaev also claimed that Sevastopol had been left without electricity. Later on August 13, a separate incident occurred when Robert Shageyev, a former commander of the Ukrainian submarine Zaporizhzhya, was killed in Sevastopol. Shageyev allegedly betrayed his oath in 2014 and sided with Russia.
