Ukraine launched a missile attack on the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet on Friday, in perhaps the most dramatic example yet of the confidence with which Kyiv is going after Russian facilities in Crimea.
“The enemy launched a missile attack on the headquarters of the fleet,” Sevastopol’s Russian-appointed governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said on Telegram. Over the past month, Ukraine has stepped up attacks on Russian military bases and other installations, including air defenses, in Crimea. Sevastopol, home to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet headquarters, is one of the largest cities on the Crimean peninsula and was illegally annexed by Moscow’s forces in 2014.
reported that debris was “scattered for hundreds of meters” following the missile strike. added that a large number of ambulances were on their way to the scene of the attack. Razvozhayev also said a piece of shrapnel fell near the Lunacharsky Theater. The Russian-appointed governor said operational services went to the scene of the attack and that information about any casualties is being clarified. In an update later Friday, Razvozhayev said there was no more “missile and aviation danger” following the incident and said nobody was injured.
