"Ukrainian Missiles Strike Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea"

A Ukrainian navy captain claimed that Russia's Black Sea Fleet has only one missile ship left in Crimea, which has not launched a single missile, following a series of successful Ukrainian attacks. A senior UK Royal Navy officer stated that 25% of Russia's Black Sea warships had been sunk or damaged. Ukraine has been using missiles and drones to strike Russian ships at Sevastopol, with the latest attacks hitting four vessels. The UK's defense minister described the Black Sea Fleet as "functionally inactive," and Russia's former Commander of the Black Sea Fleet was reportedly fired after the string of successful Ukrainian attacks.
