The strike was confirmed by the Russian-appointed governor of Sevastopol.
The latest Ukrainian success against Russian naval targets in the occupied peninsula was confirmed by the city's Russian-appointed governor, Mikhail Razvozhayev, who urged locals to avoid the city center in a post on the Telegram messaging app.
The hit on what should be the best-protected building in Crimea was further proof of Ukraine’s recent progress in degrading Russia’s air defense capability over the Black Sea—ending Russian air dominance not just over the sea itself but much of southern Ukraine. It came as a ship carrying more than 17,000 tonnes of grain left the Ukraine port of Chornomorsk as part of Kyiv’s campaign to reopen trade routes despite a Russian blockade.
But the attack on the Black Sea Fleet HQ, also thought to have involved a Storm Shadow, will have a symbolic importance likely to exceed its purely military significance. Founded by the Russian nobleman and military leader Prince Potemkin in the late 18th century, the fleet became the lynchpin of Russian military power in the Black Sea and Mediterranean over the following decades.
