On June 23, a Ukrainian MGM-140 ATACMS Tactical-Ballistic Missile equipped with a Cluster-Munition Warhead was intercepted by Russian air defenses near Sevastopol in Western Crimea. The interception caused the missile to explode midair, raining shrapnel and bomblets over Uchkuyevka beach, resulting in the deaths of at least four people and injuring over 150. CCTV footage and videos have surfaced showing the chaotic aftermath, with debris falling on beachgoers. Russian authorities initially claimed to have shot down the missile, but later retracted this statement. The incident involved a Russian 9M330 air defense missile and led to the dispersal of M74 bomblets. Emergency services are surveying the coast and sea for additional munitions.
