Russia said on Sunday that the United States was responsible for a Ukrainian attack on the Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula with five U.S.-supplied missiles that killed four people, including two children, and injured 151 more.
The Russian Defence Ministry said four of the U.S.-delivered Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles, equipped with cluster warheads, were shot down by air defence systems and the ammunition of a fifth had detonated in mid-air.
Footage on Russian state television showed people running from a beach and some people being carried off on sun loungers.
Russian-installed authorities in Crimea said missile fragments had fallen just after noon near a beach on the north side of the city of Sevastopol where locals were on holiday.
The incident generated a furious reaction among Russian public figures.
The Defence ministry said U.S. specialists had set the missiles' flight coordinates on the basis of information from U.S. spy satellites, meaning Washington was directly responsible.
"Responsibility for the deliberate missile attack on the civilians of Sevastopol is borne above all by Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, and by the Kyiv regime, from whose territory this strike was carried out," the ministry said.

Imagine the outrage if a Russian missile with cluster munitions guided by a Russian satellite would kill Americans on Miami Beach.
That’s what Biden just did to Russia. Every American must understand that Joe Biden is gambling with American lives. Russia is a nuclear power.

There is nothing in Ukraine worth risking nuclear war over.
Make peace while there still is a Ukraine.
@ChicDiplomatSocialist2yrs2Y
Do you seriously expect Russian speaking ethnic Russians to accept being forced to surrender having Zelenskky as their unelected leader? And what of the horror of bilingual ethnic Ukrainians having to wait on line and hear and understand conversations that are spoken in Russian?
The Biden Regime's engineered Ukraine war is marching the world into WW3.
Is WW3 instigation being used to keep Biden in office at a time of war that they created?
