(Bloomberg) — A Ukrainian missile attack caused a fire at the Sevastopol Shipyard in Crimea, injuring at least 24 people, according to Russia-installed Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev.

The attack has sparked a fire at a “non-civilian facility” in the South Bay area of the Sevastopol Shipyard early Wednesday, Razvozhaev said on his VK social network page. At least 24 people are injured, with four in moderate condition. The fire service is working on the site.

Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014, regularly comes under attack by drones or missiles. The Crimea bridge linking mainland Russia and the peninsula was partially damaged in July.
