Enormous infernos ripped through the night sky in the occupied port city of Sevastopol.
And as dawn broke this morning, Ukrainian forces announced they had hit two large Russian warships- Yamal and Azov.
Both damaged vessels are Ropucha-class landing ships, 370ft long, 4,000 ton behemoths designed for D-Day-style amphibious assaults.
Ukraine has attacked this type of ship before - sinking sister ships Tsezar Kunikov and Novocherkassk.
Kyiv is reported to have used British Storm Shadow missiles in the strike - 600mph long-range weapons which have proved effective against the Russians.
Putin's crony in Crimea, Mikhail Razvozhaev, was forced to admit the Russian military fought off Ukrainian rockets in a "massive attack" on Saturday.
Local reports said the barrage had also targeted the Belbek military airfield - home to Putin's prized fighter jet fleet.
Ukraine's daring hit comes as the latest embarrassment to embattled Putin's war effort - possibly striking land, air and sea via Putin's Black Sea Fleet comms centre.
The centre of the naval port was left "on fire", according to witnesses.
A Crimea Telegram channel said: "The missiles arrived at the main special communications center of the Russian Black Sea Fleet".
Ukrainian missiles have also reportedly hit several buildings in the occupied region...

Add to list of many, but Russia is cool right?
So let power’s with nuclear weapons do anything they want, got it Xi, you seeing this? Gray says do what you want
The median age of a Ukrainian soldier is 42. Demographically Ukraine is witnessing the eradication of a generation. Over 12 million have left the country as refugees, many never to return.
Ukraine was one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in Europe before the war. The war has made things even worse.
Doesn’t matter which side you’re on...you can never go wrong quoting Peter Sellers.
“Does your dog bite?”
“UKR has no nukes.”
...that you know of.
They gave up their nukes after the fall of your home country, the USSR.
You hope.
That’s a lie, which is typical of you.
Troll.
Boring
Quite cold, in fact.
Troll.
It ain’t just the Islamic terrorists putting eggs on Putin’s ugly face. Slava Ukraini!
You talking to the state department guy, folks in St. Petersburg might not approve
Not argument. If Russians had a proxy to pull the save on Pearl Harbor today, they would be much more effective.
Exactly! Putin knows who he's really fighting, so he also knows who to attack. When his non-nuke options get taken off the table, we may not like what comes next.
