The children injured in the shelling of Sevastopol beach are in a stable condition, according to Anton Narbutov, Head of the Reconstructive and Plastic Surgery Department at the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital (RCCH) of the Russian Ministry of Health, speaking in Moscow on Wednesday.

The footage shows doctors performing surgery on the injured children and monitoring the patients in the wards.

"We were able to perform two minimally-invasive thoracoscopic surgeries, which will allow these patients to start recovery earlier. We also performed a microsurgery on nerves. All the children are in a stable condition. Two children have been transferred from the intensive care unit to specialist wards, where they are with their parents, and the children are already quite active. We hope that the other two patients will be moved out of intensive care as soon as possible," Narbutov stated.

On Sunday, June 23, Russian Defence Ministry reported that a "terrorist missile attack was carried out on the city of Sevastopol by five American ATACMS tactical missiles equipped with cluster warheads."

The Ministry noted that four missiles were intercepted by air defence systems, while "the explosion of the fragmentation warhead of the fifth missile in the air led to numerous casualties among civilians in Sevastopol," when rocket fragments struck Uchkuevka beach.

The Defence Ministry attributed blame for the strike to "Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, as well as the Kiev regime, from whose territory this attack was launched." The press service also said that there would be a response.

The city’s governor Mikhail Razvozhayev reported via his Telegram channel that four people, including two children, were killed. 153 wounded people required medical assistance, 79 of whom were hospitalised.

The Investigative Committee of Russia has opened a criminal case into a possible 'terrorist act', with investigators at the scene.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova claimed that the strike's timing was deliberate, as it fell on the Day of the Holy Trinity, which falls eight weeks after Easter Sunday.

"We perfectly understand what is inside the essence of the Kiev regime - it is a deep hatred for everything connected with Russia, with Russian culture. And of course, Orthodoxy and Christianity in general," Zakharova claimed.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed Moscow had 'no doubt' that the US and 'its Ukrainian underlings' were involved in the incident in Sevastopol.

Monday, June 24, was declared a day of mourning in Sevastopol.

The advisor to the head of the Ukrainian president's office, Mykhaylo Podolyak, wrote in his Telegram channel that "there were not and cannot be any 'beaches', ‘tourist zones' or 'other fictitious signs of peaceful life' in Crimea’.

US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller stated that Washington regrets "any civilian loss of life in this war" but was providing weapons to Ukraine so it "could defend its sovereign territory against armed aggression - that includes in Crimea."

Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February 2022 after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements, and urging Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and give assurances that it would never join NATO.

Kiev denounced the Russian action as an invasion. Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky imposed martial law throughout the country, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and the US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
