Ukraine strikes Crimean naval port of Sevastopol<\/h3>\n

Explosions rocked occupied Crimea overnight as Ukrainian sources claimed a \u201cjoint special operation\u201d underway between Kyiv’s intelligence agency – the GUR – and the Navy.<\/p>\n

The Suspline news agency, quoting residents in Sevastopol, said explosions and gunfire were heard around 8.15pm local time.<\/p>\n

One resident told the outlet: \u201cThere were three loud explosions and several quiet ones. An acquaintance wrote that the explosions were in the south of the city in the direction of Cape Fiolent.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Russian 26th Marine Radio Engineering Unit is based at the cape which boasts 12 radar antennas.<\/p>\n

The news agency quoted an intelligence official who claimed the explosions were a result of \u201ca joint special operation of the GUR and the Navy\u201d.<\/p>\n

Moscow denied that the operation was successful and claimed to have downed three Ukrainian drones over occupied Crimea.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s Ministry of Defence said: \u201cAn attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack by an aircraft-type UAV on objects on the territory of the Russian Federation was stopped.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were destroyed over the southwestern part of the Crimean peninsula by regular means of air defence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ministry later reported that Russian air defences had destroyed another Ukrainian UAV around 9.30pm.<\/p>\n

The unverified report does not make it clear what Kyiv\u2019s forces were attacking or whether they were successful but Sevastopol is home to the headquarters of Russia\u2019s Black Sea fleet.<\/p>\n

Last week, Ukrainian strikes targeted the drydock in the city reportedly damaging two Russian ships and injuring 24 people.<\/p>\n

An image shared by Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Moscow-appointed governor of Sevastopol, showed the shipyard engulfed in flames with smoke billowing over it.<\/p>\n

The shipyard is of strategic importance as it is used to repair Russia\u2019s Black Sea fleet.<\/p>\n

Last Monday, Ukraine claimed it had captured its forces had recaptured strategic gas and oil drilling platforms in the Black Sea that Russia seized in 2015.<\/p>\n

Russia had used the platforms for electronic warfare equipment and to launch helicopters and Kyiv said capturing them would help in their fight to regain Crimea.<\/p>\n

The peninsula was annexed by Russia in 2014. Last month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed to do all he could to retake Crimea.<\/p>\n
