Ukrainian military inspectors cannot explain why the crew of the Russian ship "Caesar Kunnikov" fired a 57- millimeter combat projectile in the direction of the Saxarnaya Golovka Settlement. The Black Sea Fleet Command of Russia did not allow inspectors aboard the ship.
The "Caesar Kunnikov" stands almost in the center of Sevastopol, near the Minnaya Stenka moorage. The projectile was fired several days ago. It reached a height of approximately 4 thousand meters and fell into the vineyards near the Sapyn Mountains.
According to the Captain of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia, Andrey Krylov, when the gun barrel was being cranked, the projectile accidentally left the vessel. Many inhabitants of Sevastopol are agitated by the fact that the gun was not a training weapon, but one containing a combat projectile.
