The attack early Wednesday was in the port city of Sevastopol, which serves as the main base for Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.
In this handout photo released by the Governor of Sevastopol Mikhail Razvozhaev telegram channel on Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2023, Razvozhaev speaks on the mobile phone as smoke and flame rise from a burning Sevastopol Shipyard in Crimea. The Sevastopol Shipyard in Russian-annexed Crimea is on fire after a Ukrainian attack with 24 people being injured and two ships that were being repaired there sustaining damage.
A pre-dawn drone onslaught in southern Ukraine’s Odesa region damaged port and civilian infrastructure in the region’s Izmail district — not far from the Crimean city — and wounded seven people, three seriously, Gov. Oleh Kiper said. The Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014 in an act that most of the world considered illegal, has been a frequent target since Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than 18 months ago.
The shipyard is of strategic importance to Russia because vessels in its Black Sea fleet are repaired there. A senior Ukrainian official posted a picture of the burning port on social media and described the strike as a “professional and meaningful statement” in its efforts to keep a crucial shipping corridor open to deliver grain to Asia and Africa.
Ukraine’s RBC-Ukraine news outlet reported, citing unnamed sources in Ukrainian military intelligence, that an amphibious landing ship and a submarine were damaged in the attack. Some Russian messaging app channels made the same claim.
