Russia says missiles shot down over Crimea; Zelenskiy meets Polish president – as it happened

Missile reportedly shot down over annexed Crimean peninsula, says Russia

More on the reported missile shot down on Sunday over the annexed Crimean peninsula.

The Russia-installed governor of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, wrote on the Telegram messaging app on Sunday that a cruise missile was shot down near the city of Kerch on the Crimean peninsula, without inflicting any damage or casualties.

Local officials said traffic movement on the Crimean Bridge that links the peninsula to the Russian mainland was restored after an apparent suspension, Reuters reported.

No reason for the traffic halt was given.

Russian officials said another missile was shot down, this time over Russia’s southern Rostov region that also borders Ukraine.

In this incident, air defence shot down a Ukrainian missile in Russia’s Rostov region, the city’s governor, Vasily Golubev, said on Telegram.

Golubev wrote:

There were no casualties. The debris partially damaged the roofs of several buildings.
