Ukraine claims Russia’s Black Sea Fleet commander killed

If confirmed, Admiral Viktor Sokolov’s killing would be one of Kyiv’s most significant strikes on Crimea.

Smoke billows from a headquarters building for the Russian Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol, Crimea.

Moscow-installed authorities in Sevastopol, however, were taking extra measures to address Ukraine’s increased attacks on Crimea, a critical region providing a platform from which Russia has launched many of its air attacks on Ukraine in the 19-month-long war.
