Ukrainian forces conducted a coordinated series of missile strikes targeting multiple locations in Crimea between 4:15 AM and 5:04 AM, including Russian military infrastructure and air defense positions.

Explosions were reported in the Krasnohvardiiskyi district of occupied Crimea on the morning of May 6, 2023. The occupying authorities claimed air defense systems were activated in the north of Crimea with no casualties or damage.

Occupation authorities in Crimea sent messages to districts to prepare shelters in case of threats.

Russian occupation officials claimed that Ukrainian forces targeted Crimea with Hrim-2 short-range ballistic missiles.

Sergey Aksyonov claimed Ukraine launched a ballistic missile towards Crimea using the Grom-2 system.

Aksyonov stated Russian air defense shot down two missiles with no destruction or injuries.

The Grom-2 tactical missile system was reportedly still under development prior to the full-scale invasion, casting doubt on its operational use.
