Ukraine Strikes Russian Navy HQ in Crimea, Escalating Tensions
Ukraine launched a missile strike on the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea navy in Sevastopol, Crimea, while a major cyberattack disrupted internet services on the peninsula. Russia's defense ministry reported one serviceman missing and stated that air defenses had downed five missiles. Ukrainian military confirmed the attack but provided few details. The Russian-installed governor of Sevastopol reported that the fire in the building was under control, and nearby roads could remain closed during the cleanup. Ukraine has intensified attacks in the Black Sea and Crimea as part of its counteroffensive to regain Russian-occupied territory.
