(ANSA-AFP) - MOSCOW, SEP 22 - A Russian-occupation official
in annexed Crimea said Friday that a Ukrainian missile had
struck the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea fleet, the latest
assault by Kyiv on the peninsula. Crimea has been targeted by
Ukraine throughout Russia's offensive but attacks there have
recently intensified as Kyiv vows to recapture the Black Sea
peninsula, which Moscow annexed in 2014. "The headquarters of
the fleet have been hit in an enemy missile attack," Mikhail
Razvozhayev, the governor of Crimea's largest city Sevastopol,
said on social media. Razvozhayev said that missile fragments
had fallen near a theatre. In a second post, he warned that
another Ukrainian aerial attack could be imminent, urging
residents of the city, which is home to more than 500,000
people, to remain indoors. (ANSA-AFP).
