Ukraine on Saturday launched another missile attack on Sevastopol, a Russian official said, a day after an attack on Russia's Black Sea Fleet headquarters.
KYIV, Ukraine – Ukraine on Saturday morning launched another missile attack on Sevastopol in occupied Crimea, a Russian-installed official said, a day after an attack on the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet left a serviceman missing and the main building smoldering.
Loud blasts were also heard near Vilne in northern Crimea, followed by rising clouds of smoke, according to a pro-Ukrainian Telegram news channel that reports on developments on the peninsula. Crimea, illegally annexed by Russia in 2014, has been a frequent target for Ukrainian forces since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of the neighboring country almost 19 months ago.
Budanov’s claim could not be independently verified, and he did not comment on whether Western-made missiles were used in Friday’s strike.
