Shrapnel from an intercepted US-made missile fired by Ukraine hit a beach packed with sunbathing tourists in occupied Crimea on Sunday. Attacks on civilian targets are rare in Russia or Russian-occupied territory but Ukrainian missile fragments have been known to fall away from military targets. “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. ‘I had eight wounded’Irina Frolova was swimming in the pool of a nearby hotel when she heard the Russian air-defence systems hit the Ukrainian missile, followed by screams from the beach. Russia’s Ministry of Defence said that the missile attack on Sunday had occurred just after midday.
