Footage shows the holidaymakers shouting and running away during the chaotic scenes.
Earlier, 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 system, 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 the strike to "Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, as well as the Kiev regime, from whose territory this attack was launched." It added that there would be a response.
The city's governor Mikhail Razvozhayev stated in his Telegram channel that, according to revised information, four people were killed, among them two children. 144 victims sought medical help, 82 of whom were hospitalised.
Russia's Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights Maria Lvova-Belova reported via social media that five children were in serious condition following the attack.
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 Ukraine chose the day of the Holy Trinity deliberately.
"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 said.
The governor also announced that Monday, June 24 has been declared a day of mourning in Sevastopol.
At the time of publication, the Ukrainian side and Washington had not commented on the shelling of Sevastopol.
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. Ukraine's 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.
