Details: The Russians claimed they shot down about 50 drones in the morning, some of them over occupied Crimea and the Black Sea.

It is reported that suburban electric trains will run only as far as Inkerman-1 station, from where passengers will be transported by bus to the Sevastopol railway station.

The official reason given for suspending suburban train services in Sevastopol was "damage to the contact line due to the fall of UAV debris".

Buses have also been arranged to transport passengers of the Saint Petersburg–Sevastopol train from Inkerman station to Sevastopol railway station.

The arrival of the Moscow-Sevastopol train is expected to be delayed by one hour.

Background: On the night of 25-26 April, Russian forces attacked Ukraine with 144 UAVs. Ukrainian air defence forces shot down or jammed 124 of the drones.
