There was no immediate reaction from Ukraine. Kyiv almost never publicly claims responsibility for attacks inside Russia and on Russian-controlled territory in Ukraine.
Russia annexed Sevastopol, along with the rest of the Crimean Peninsula which juts into the Black Sea, in 2014 but it is internationally recognised as part of Ukraine.
Separately on Monday, a local Russian official said a Ukrainian-made drone packed with explosives had been found crashed in a forest in the Moscow region. No casualties were reported.
Last month three people were injured, and apartment blocks were damaged when Russia said it downed a Ukrainian drone south of the Russian capital.
