The strikes come as Ukraine continues its latest counteroffensive effort to reclaim occupied territory.
Satellite imagery showed billows of smoke rise from Russia’s Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Crimea following a Ukrainian strike on Friday.
Suspected Ukrainian missiles struck the headquarters in Sevastopol on Friday, the latest in a series of attacks against the Crimean port city amid the Russia-Ukraine war, launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin in February 2022. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MOD) reported on Friday morning that several missiles and drones were destroyed over Crimea, a peninsula annexed by Russia from Ukraine in 2014.
The strike comes amid Ukraine’s latest counteroffensive effort, aimed at reclaiming occupied territory seized by Moscow since Putin’s “special military operation” began.
