Drones strike historic museum in Russia-annexed Crimea as officials adjust train timetable
Ukrainian drones hit a historic museum in the Russian-annexed Crimea’s Sevastopol, local authorities claimed Wednesday, as air strikes intensify and they cut back on night trains.
The museum is dedicated to the Crimean War (1853-1856) between the Russian Empire and an alliance which included the Ottoman Empire. In that conflict Russia was defeated.
Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russian-installed governor of Sevastopol, stated on Telegram the museum roof was on fire. He did not provide further specifics on damage or whether there were any casualties.The adversary will pay for this outrage! Razvozhayev wrote in a message early Wednesday.
Elsewhere in Crimea, officials reduced down train timetables for night hours, the peninsula’s Russian-installed ruler Sergei Aksyonov announced on Telegram, after a drone assault this week injured a train driver and killed his assistant.
Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula seized by Russia from Ukraine in 2014, is running out of fuel after recent Ukrainian drone strikes just as the holiday season is getting underway.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week offered face-to-face meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin which he declined. Kremlin officials said Ukraine was sabotaging efforts to find a peaceful conclusion to the crisis following the train disaster.
In a separate development, the city of Novokuibyshevsk in Russia’s Samara area, a major oil hub on the Volga river with many refineries managed by state-controlled oil giant Rosneft, was fighting off drone strikes, the regional governor said.
Authorities in the city of Samara, with a population of one million, ordered inhabitants to shelter and suspended public transport amid air raid alerts, local media reported.
Ongoing strikes by Ukraine on Russian energy infrastructure have pushed Moscow to decrease oil output, the world’s third-largest.

Ivory Coast is eliminated from the 2026 World Cup by Norway
- Erling Haaland grabbed a thrilling late victory as Norway knocked Ivory Coast out of the 2026 World Cup qualifying.
Haaland had been invisible for much of the game but turned up when it mattered most to score his fifth goal of the tournament and send Norway through.
Norway had taken the lead in the first half after a stunning curling drive from Antonio Nusa, only for Manchester United’s Amad Diallo to equalise with a spectacular solo effort.
Norway will now take against Brazil in New York on July 5 for a place in the quarter-finals.
Erling Haaland has taken his goalscoring inevitability to the World Cup stage.
The 25-year-old has scored in 14 successive competitive matches for Norway, registering 22 goals in that sequence of contests.
His job tonight was simple, slotting into an empty net from 6 yards to extend the run, but as any good striker he deserves credit for getting into that position. Norway have scored in the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time since 1938.
The scorer of that goal in 1938 was Arne Brustad, who was born on the same day that the Titanic hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean.
