Black Sea Fleet nightmare for Putin after Ukraine destroys two 112-metre-long warships


In a daring overnight operation, the Ukrainian Air Force dealt a significant blow to the Russian Black Sea Fleet by successfully destroying two of its key warships, ‘Yamal’ and ‘Azov,’ along with targeting the fleet’s communications centre and other infrastructure facilities in Sevastopol, Crimea.

The news was confirmed by the Ukraine Ministry of Defence, which jubilantly announced the success of the mission on social media platform X, declaring: “Great news. -2 Russian ships… Bravo! Crimea is Ukraine!”

The assault on the Russian-controlled city of Sevastopol, a vital strategic location in the Black Sea region, saw the Ukrainian Air Force deploying precision strikes, including at least three Storm Shadow cruise missiles, according to reports from sources like OSINTtechnical and the Telegram channel Krymskii Veter (Crimean Wind).

“Appears that at least three Ukrainian Storm Shadow cruise missiles just slammed into a major Russian Black Sea Fleet communications centre,” stated OSINTtechnical.

“We have been informed that missiles have hit the main special communications centre of the Russian Black Sea Fleet at 1, Mykoly Muzyky Street,” confirmed Krymskii Veter, pinpointing the exact location of the targeted facility.

The attack on Sevastopol comes amidst a broader escalation of tensions in the region, with Russia launching its third massive missile assault on Ukraine in just four days. Recent strikes have also targeted the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, with neighbouring Poland reporting an incident where a missile breached its airspace.

Serhiy Popko, the head of Kyiv’s military administration, revealed that Russia used cruise missiles launched from Tu-95MS strategic bombers in the latest wave of attacks. These missiles penetrated Kyiv’s airspace from the north, prompting an extended air alert in the capital.

Popko disclosed that the attacks originated from Russia’s Engels district in the Saratov region, signalling a significant escalation in Russia’s military engagement in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine.

The destruction of the two 112-metre-long warships and the targeting of the Black Sea Fleet’s communications infrastructure represent a substantial setback for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s military ambitions in the region.
