Russia has blamed the US for a Ukrainian attack on Crimea using five US-supplied missiles that killed five people. The Russian Defence Ministry said four of the US-delivered ATACMS missiles, equipped with cluster warheads, were shot down by its air defence systems.However, the ammunition of a fifth had detonated mid-air which resulted in the shrapnel falling on beachgoers in Sevastopol. Five people, including two children, were killed by falling debris at the port city in Russia-annexed Crimea, said the city’s Moscow-installed governor.The Kremlin on June 24 warned the US of “consequences” and summoned its envoy in Moscow. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the strike on Sevastopol “barbaric” and accused Washington of “killing Russian children.”
