Ukraine’s military said on Saturday that a missile strike had sunk a Russian Black Sea Fleet submarine in Russian-occupied Crime.
Ukraine’s military claimed on Saturday to have sunk a submarine in Russian-controlled Sevastopol.
Kyiv also said they had attacked a southern Russian airfield and hit oil depots in Belgorod, Kursk and Rostov.
“A Russian submarine went to the bottom of the Black Sea,” the Ukrainian defense ministry said in a post on X.
The submarine was purported to be the B-237 Rostov-on-Don attack submarine.
There was no immediate comment by Russia on the Sevastopol attack.
Ukraine said that the submarine, which could launch Kalibr cruise missiles, had previously sustained significant damage in an earlier September attack but had since been repaired.
The estimated value of the submarine was $300 million, according to the military.
Ukrainian forces also carried out strikes against an airfield in Russia’s Rostov Oblast, local media report, hitting its ammunition depot storing glide bombs and other weapons.
Oil depots and warehouses in Belgorod, Rostov and Kursky were also struck overnight, according to the Ukrainian military.
Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy praised the Ukrainian military after the claimed attacks.
“It is most effective when the consequences of the Russian war are brought back home to Russia,” he said in his evening address on Saturday.
