Neptune missiles launched toward Sevastopol in Crimea, prompting air raid alerts and calls for residents to take cover, as posted by the ЧП / Севастополь Telegram channel at approximately 8:16 PM to 8:45 PM UTC on February 11, 2026. Concurrently, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that no elections can be announced on February 24, the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion, prioritizing security guarantees first, according to his official X post. The ЧП / Севастополь alert specified "Neptune missiles heading towards Sevastopol" and directed residents to a max.ru information page, with the post occurring within this 29-minute reporting window. Zelenskyy emphasized February 24 as a solemn date marking four years of war and sacrifices, rejecting its use for political announcements including elections raised by partners, as stated in his X post from ZelenskyyUa. Zelenskyy reiterated that Ukraine is ready for elections once a ceasefire establishes security, noting Ukraine itself has not raised the issue. This comes amid ongoing hostilities, building on Ukrainian strikes destroying Russian radars and SAM systems in Donetsk and Kherson earlier on February 11, as reported by the 422nd Luftwaffe unit and SBS Birds group in the prior reporting period.
