Ukraine damages Putin’s warship in Crimea with missile strike, Russia claims:
A Ukrainian missile strike hit a shipyard over the weekend in Crimea, dealing a blow to at least one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s warships, the Kremlin claimed late Saturday.
Some 15 cruise missiles rained down at the Saliva shipyard in Kerch, which is fixated about 600 miles south of Kyiv and is fixated in the eastern part of the Crimean Peninsula, per the Kremlin.
Moscow says its air defense systems managed to counter 13 missiles, but acknowledged that some got through and dealt a blow to a ship, but didn’t specify how much damage was done.
“On November 4, the Ukrainian army launched 15 cruise missiles at the B.E. Butoma (Zaliv) shipyard in the city of Kerch, Russia’s defense ministry said, per a translation.
“Air defense systems shot down 13 of the cruise missiles. As a result of being hit by an enemy cruise missile, a ship located at the plant was damaged.”
Sergei Aksyonov Russia’s implanted governor of Crimea also confirmed there was an attack.
“Fragments of downed missiles fell onto territory of one of the dry docks,” Aksyonov wrote in a Telegram post. “There were no casualties.”
Ukraine acknowledged the strike as well.
Ukrainian Air Force commander, Mykola Oleshchuk said the navy yard hit by the strike was home “one of the most modern ships of Russia’s Black Sea fleet was at the shipyard — carrier of the Kalibr cruise missiles.”
Based on Oleshchuk’s statement, it’s not clear if that specific ship was actually damaged in the operation.
One observer — military analyst Andriy Tsaplienko — speculated in a Telegram post that based on preliminary information, the strike hit Russia’s Askold missile ship, which was launched in 2021. —>READ MORE HERE

Quote from Oleshchuk: “I hope another boat followed the Moskva (the Russian cruiser destroyed in April 2022 – ed.)!
In the meantime, we are waiting for official confirmation of the results once again; I would like to thank the pilots of the tactical aviation of the Air Forces for successful cruise missile strikes on the infrastructure of the Zaliv shipbuilding yard in Kerch, where one of the most modern ships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, a Kalibr cruise missile carrier, was stationed.
Details: Oleshchuk also thanked the anti-aircraft gunners for the three Iskander-K missiles shot down on the evening of 4 November. —>READ MORE HERE
