Ukrainian forces have reportedly struck and “significantly damaged” a new Russian missile carrier, the corvette Askold, at the Zaliv shipyard in Crimea before it could join the Black Sea Fleet. Russia’s Ministry of Defense acknowledged damage to a ship following a Ukrainian missile barrage but claimed to have intercepted most of the missiles. The attack hints at the use of advanced Western-supplied missiles by Ukraine and underscores the ongoing strategic significance of the Black Sea Fleet in the conflict.
  

Key Points: 

  1. The Ukrainian military claims to have targeted and damaged a new Russian missile carrier, which is believed to be the Askold, at the Zaliv shipyard in Crimea.
  2. The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the incident, stating that out of 15 Ukrainian missiles aimed at the shipyard, 13 were shot down.
  3. The Askold was reported to be capable of carrying Kalibr cruise missiles with a range over 1,500 miles, and it was under testing to join the Russian Black Sea Fleet this year.
  4. Satellite images suggest that the Askold is still afloat but has sustained significant damage to its upper structure.
  5. The strike is part of Ukraine’s broader strategy to target Russian naval capabilities in the Black Sea, which have been used by Russia to launch missile attacks against Ukrainian infrastructure.
