“At this point, three victims have been registered, all are in satisfactory condition, all are hospitalized,” Pavlenko quoted TASS as saying.
Among the victims there are two elderly people and one teenager 16 years old.
Earlier it was reported that all operational services of the Republic of Crimea were put on high alert due to strong winds.
In addition, about 200 ships on the Black Sea and Azov coasts are awaiting passage through the Kerch Strait, which has slowed down due to the storm.
The head of Crimea Sergei Aksyonov said that due to strong gusts of wind, according to Krymenergo, about 37 thousand people are without electricity.
