Watch: Reported Ukraine missile strikes Russian Naval HQ in Crimea amid counteroffensive | Fox News

Ukrainian forces followed up their attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet headquarters in occupied Crimea with a second attack in as many days in the region as Kyiv seeks to frustrate Russia s forces ahead of the coming winter. 

Video captured the aftermath of Friday’s devastating strike, showing vast columns of black smoke rising from the Black Sea Fleet HQ. According to Reuters, Ukraine took credit for the attack on Saturday ahead of a second strike that Russian officials have also attributed to Ukrainian forces. 

Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russian-appointed governor of Sevastopol, claimed that the city activated its air defenses on Saturday to combat an incoming rocket attack. No Ukrainian official has yet taken credit for the second attack.

Razvozhayev said that debris from a rocket fell into the nearby Sukharnaya Bay, disrupting passenger ship traffic for the day, but emergency services have left the scene, according to Russian news agency TASS. He did not reveal whether the rocket attack succeeded in damaging any infrastructure or vital targets far fewer details than were provided following Friday s attack, which resulted in one missing service member but no casualties after Russian defenses claimed to have shot down five missiles.
