Moscow — The Russian-installed governor of Sevastopol, the biggest city in Ukraine's Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula, said the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea fleet had been struck in a Ukrainian missile attack. He warned shortly afterward of possible further Ukrainian attacks, but that warning was later dropped.
Russian state media said air defense systems shot down 10 missiles headed for Crimea, but that the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol was hit by French-made Storm Shadow missiles.
"Work continues to extinguish the fire at the fleet headquarters," Sevastopol governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said in a post on the Telegram messaging app. "According to preliminary information, the civilian infrastructure around the fleet headquarters was not damaged. The people who were on the street at the time of the impact were also not injured."
