A Ukrainian missile attack has struck the headquarters of Moscow’s Black Sea fleet in annexed Crimea, killing at least one person and sparking a fire in Kyiv’s latest assault on the peninsula.
Ukraine has targeted Crimea throughout Russia’s offensive but attacks on military installations there have recently intensified as Kyiv has pledged to recapture the 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 on Friday.
Razvozhayev said that missile fragments had fallen near a theatre and urged residents to stay clear of the site.
In a second post, he warned that another aerial attack could be imminent, urging residents of the city, which is home to more than 500,000 people, to remain indoors.
“Attention everyone! Another attack is possible. Please do not go to the city centre. Do not leave buildings,” he said.
