Ukraine's Missile Attack on Crimea: Russia's Response

Ukraine has launched a missile attack on Crimea, targeting the home of Russia's Black Sea fleet. Russia claims that 10 missiles and three unmanned boats were used in the attack, causing a large fire at a shipyard and injuring 24 people. Two Russian ships were reportedly damaged. Ukraine has previously targeted Sevastopol and the Black Sea fleet, but this attack appears to be one of the most concerted so far, potentially using western-supplied long-range missiles. Russia's air defenses managed to intercept some of the missiles, but the fact that some got through and caused substantial damage is a cause for concern in Moscow. Additionally, Russian drones reportedly damaged a Ukrainian grain port, injuring six people and causing infrastructure damage.
