Earlier on Friday, Mikhail Razvozhaev said that the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol came under a missile attack.

Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev has announced the end of the missile and aviation threat in Sevastopol, but asked citizens to refrain from traveling to the center of the city.

The roads are blocked there and “a number of special events are taking place”, according to him.

He added that work continues to extinguish the fire at the Black Sea Fleet headquarters and that “there are enough workforce and resources.”

“Please remain calm. The situation is under control of emergency services. According to preliminary information, the civilian infrastructure around the fleet headquarters has not been damaged. The people who were on the street at the time of the missile strike have not been injured either,” Razvozhaev stressed.

Russia, the United States and China have all built new facilities and dug new tunnels at their nuclear test sites in recent years, satellite images obtained exclusively by CNN show, at a time when tensions between the three major nuclear powers have risen to their highest in decades.

While there is no evidence to suggest that Russia, the US or China is preparing for an imminent nuclear test, the images, obtained and provided by a prominent analyst in military nonproliferation studies, illustrate recent expansions at three nuclear test sites compared with just a few years ago. 

One is operated by China in the far western region of Xinjiang, one by Russia in an Arctic Ocean archipelago, and another in the US in the Nevada desert.
