This is the best summary I could come up with:
Moscow — The Russian-installed governor of Sevastopol, the biggest city in Ukraine’s Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula, said Friday that the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea fleet had been struck in a Ukrainian missile attack.
“Work continues to extinguish the fire at the fleet headquarters,” Sevastopol governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said in a post on the Telegram messaging app.
There was no immediate confirmation of the extent of the damage to the Black Sea Fleet’s offices, but the state-run TASS news agency said earlier that at least six people were injured in the strike.
Video posted on social media shows smoke billowing from the fleet’s headquarters.
Ukraine didn’t immediately claim responsibility for the Friday attack on Sevastopol, which came a day after Ukrainian officials said a barrage of Russian missiles had struck a half dozen cities, killing at least two people and damaging electricity infrastructure in multiple regions.
The latest exchange of fire came on the heels of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visiting Washington to seek continued support for his country’s effort to defend itself from the Russian invasion.
