Russia's Black Sea Fleet Headquarters Demolished and Commanding Admiral Presumed Dead

A volley of Ukrainian cruise missiles demolished the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, in Occupied Crimea. The strategic communications directorate of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the attack that took place around noon Sevastopol time this way on social media:

(snip)

Fleet Headquarters was struck by two or three cruise missile, either British Storm Shadow or French SCALP-EG. In this video you can see one of them on short final.

There are reports of several high-ranking officers killed or injured in the attack. Unofficially, Admiral Viktor Sokolov, commander of the Black Sea Fleet, was among the dead.

To understand how we got here, you need to look at Ukrainian military operations over the last two or three weeks. A little over a week ago, Ukrainian cruise missiles and unmanned surface vehicles destroyed two Russian warships, a submarine and a landing ship, and an antiaircraft patrol vessel was damaged while underway. That attack had been set up by a commando raid on a radar and antiaircraft site in Crimea that punched a hole in the air defense belt surrounding Sevastopol. Other antiaircraft sites have been hit in the last two weeks; Last week, an S-400 antiaircraft missile battery covering downtown Sevastopol, the location of the Black Sea Fleet headquarters, was taken out.

These attacks opened a corridor for Ukrainian strike aircraft to get very close to Crimea before launching their missiles.

Your prior posts, again, contradict that. Given that you get unnaturally excited at reading about casualties of Russians, this declaration paints you as a liar.

You were never loved as a child, were you? As a mother I can see why.

Zelenskyy was an actor.

In case some have forgotten Ronald Reagan was an actor.

Sorry but just having that in common isn’t enough to prove anything.
