Russia said a Ukrainian missile strike on a shipyard in annexed Crimea had damaged a Russian ship. The Russian Defense Ministry said that Ukrainian forces fired 15 cruise missiles at the Zaliv shipyard in Kerch, a city in the east of the Crimean Peninsula. Air defenses shot down 13 missiles but others hit the shipyard and damaged a vessel, a statement from the ministry said. The ministry didn’t give details about the ship or the extent of the damage.
Ukrainian air force commander Mykola Oleshchuk, said, “At the time of the attack, one of the most modern ships of Russia’s Black Sea fleet was at the shipyard—carrier of the Kalibr cruise missiles.” He didn’t specify if that was the ship damaged by the strike.
