Successful strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces
A few weeks ago, Ukrainian military forces conducted successful strikes against occupiers in Crimea.
In particular, Ukrainian defenders attacked a landing ship and a Russian submarine in Sevastopol Bay. As a result of the strike, the equipment is likely beyond repair, according to the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence.
Ukrainian Armed Forces also targeted the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. During that operation, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet was eliminated.
