Destruction of Russian Black Sea Fleet ships
Earlier today, on March 24, the Strategic Communications Directorate of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Defense Forces had struck at Russian occupiers' facilities in Sevastopol. Two Russian landing ships and a communications center were destroyed.
Thus, the Ukrainian military attacked the large landing ships Yamal and Azov. The Russian occupation forces' communications center and several infrastructure facilities of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the temporarily occupied Sevastopol were also damaged.
Earlier in the night, there were explosions in the occupied Crimea, particularly in Sevastopol. The network wrote about the alleged work of air defense, and the occupiers blocked the Crimean bridge. According to residents, a fire broke out in the Kozacha Bay in Sevastopol.
OSINT analysts also noted that a large communication hub of the Russian Black Sea Fleet could have been hit in Sevastopol.
On the night of March 5, a special unit of the Defense Intelligence Group 13 near the Kerch Strait attacked the Black Sea Fleet patrol ship Sergei Kotov. As a result of the attack by Magura V5 maritime drones, the ship was eliminated. This is the third Russian Black Sea Fleet vessel to sink in the last five weeks.
Following a series of significant losses of Russian ships in the Black Sea, on March 10, Russian Navy Chief Admiral Nikolai Evmenov was dismissed and replaced by Northern Fleet Commander Admiral Alexander Moiseev.
In February, Admiral Viktor Sokolov, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, was dismissed due to losses.
