The Ukrainian military has said it hit two large Russian landing ships during overnight strikes on Crimea.
Kyiv said it had also struck a communications centre and other infrastructure used by Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.
Crimea was forcibly annexed by Russia in 2014.
Ukraine did not say how it hit the targets.
However, a Russian official in the peninsula said air defences had shot down more than 10 missiles over the port of Sevastopol.
“The defence forces of Ukraine successfully hit the Azov and
Yamal large landing ships, a communications centre and also
several infrastructure facilities of the Russian Black Sea Fleet
in temporarily occupied Crimea,” Ukraine’s military said.
Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russian-installed governor of
Sevastopol, said on Telegram that transport
infrastructure, including passenger boats, was partially damaged.
“Of the six boats, five had their windows broken,” he said.
Three passenger buses, 13 school
buses and one trolley bus were among vehicles that had been damaged, he added.
