Original Note:
Numerous US media reported on the incident https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/russia-blames-us-ukrainian-strikes-crimea-rcna158471 https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2024-06-23/ukrainian-drones-and-missiles-kill-6-in-russia-and-crimea-fresh-bombing-of-kharkiv-leaves-1-dead It is factually fals to claim that "Urkaine attakcked a bunch of civilians": Russia intercepted missiles aimed at the Belbek military airfield (a valid military target in occupied Crimea) directly over the beach. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-says-three-killed-nearly-100-wounded-ukrainian-atacms-attack-crimea-2024-06-23/?ref=upstract.com
