On Friday, a strike on Russia's Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol left dozens dead and wounded. The attack reportedly resulted in the death and injury of the fleet's senior leadership, with one serviceman confirmed killed. In response, the U.S. is considering providing Ukraine with Army Tactical Missile Systems to aid in the ongoing counteroffensive against Russia.
Ukraine launched a missile attack on the main headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, Crimea on Friday. According to the Sevastopol governor, the civilian infrastructure around the fleet headquarters was not damaged, but there is no information about casualties yet. Firefighters are battling a blaze at the fleet headquarters and more emergency forces are being brought in. The missile attack is the latest in a series of escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia.
The British military has reported that Russia is training combat dolphins in the annexed Crimean peninsula to counter Ukrainian forces, investing heavily in security at the Black Sea Fleet's main base at Sevastopol. Imagery shows a near doubling of floating mammal pens in the harbor which likely contain bottle-nosed dolphins, and the animals are "highly likely intended to counter enemy divers." It is unclear how effective the dolphins will be, but it is clear that Russia is investing heavily in its defences.
