Ukraine Fires Missiles at Crimean Shipyard: Several Injured, 2 Ships Damaged

Crimea: A fire broke out at the Sevastopol Shipyard on the Crimean Peninsula, with two ships sustaining damage following Ukraine’s launch of 10 missiles and three speedboat attacks on the port, as reported by Russia’s defence ministry on Wednesday.

The Moscow-appointed governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev, said at least 24 people were injured in the attack. He said all emergency services were responding to the situation and that there was no threat to civilian structures.

The Sevastopol Shipyard is a strategically important facility for Russia, as it repairs ships and submarines for the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The Black Sea Fleet has previously launched missile attacks on Ukraine.

It is unclear whether Ukraine was responsible for the attack. The Ukrainian government has not commented on the incident.
