Kiev has claimed a “successful strike” on the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in annexed Crimea on Friday, September 22. The operation resulted in at least one casualty. This Ukrainian region, annexed by Moscow in 2014, and the city of Sevastopol, where the targeted naval headquarters is located, are at the core of Russia’s military operation for its invasion of Ukraine, both for supplying troops occupying southern Ukraine and for launching missile strikes from the sea.
“The enemy carried out a missile attack on the fleet headquarters,” wrote Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvojaïev on Telegram. The Russian Ministry of Defense, which initially reported the death of a soldier, later clarified that he was missing. After a few hours of silence, the Ukrainian army praised the “successful strike against the headquarters of the command of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the temporarily occupied city of Sevastopol.
