Ukraine attacks Kremlin’s Black Sea Fleet headquarters where senior military leaders were meeting
Several Russian commanders including the general leading the Kremlin’s forces in southern Ukraine were killed or badly injured in a Storm Shadow missile strike on Friday, Kyiv has claimed.
Lt Gen Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, said the missile attack on the Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol had been timed to coincide with a meeting of senior military leaders.
He said that at least nine Russian soldiers or sailors had been killed and 16 injured, including Col Gen Alexander Romanchuk and Lt Gen Oleg Tsekov, who both were in serious condition.
“The number of injured regular servicemen who are not employees of the headquarters is still being determined. These are military personnel who are on duty, security, and so on,” he said.
