A significant missile strike hit the main communications hub of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the occupied city of Sevastopol on Friday night.
According to sources including OSINTtechnical and the Telegram channel Krymskii Veter (Crimean Wind), the attack involved at least three Ukrainian Storm Shadow cruise missiles, targeting a crucial installation.
“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, providing a specific location for the targeted facility.
The attack in Sevastopol is part of a broader escalation in the region, with Russia launching its third massive missile assault on Ukraine in just four days. The recent strikes have notably targeted Kyiv, with 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.
Fortunately, initial assessments suggest there were no casualties or significant damage in Kyiv as a result of the missile barrage.
Poland, a NATO member, reported a violation of its airspace by one of the cruise missiles launched by Russia. The missile entered Polish territory near the town of Oserdów, remaining in the airspace for 39 seconds before exiting.
Poland’s military promptly responded to the airspace breach, activating necessary procedures to safeguard its territory.
