  • The Byzantine outpost of Cherson (Crimea) rebels (with Khazar assistance) against Emperor Justinian II. He sends a fleet under the patrikios Stephen, which retakes the city and restores Byzantine control. The fleet, however, is struck by a storm on its way back and loses many ships, while the Chersonites, again with the aid of the Khazars, rebel anew.{{cite book|title=A History of the Byzantine State and Society|last=Treadgold|first=Warren T.|year=1997|publisher=Stanford University Press|location=Stanford, CA|isbn=978-0-8047-2630-6|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nYbnr5XVbzUC|page=341}}
