Russian officials confirmed the attack damaged one ship but there were no casualties The Zalyv shipyard is in the city of Kerch in Crimea, which Russia annexed years ago Ukraine’s armed forces said they hit marine and port infrastructure at a shipyard in the port city of Kerch in Russian-occupied Crimea on Saturday, in an attack confirmed by the Russian defense ministry. “The evening of Nov. 4 Armed Forces of Ukraine implemented successful strikes on marine and port infrastructure of the ‘Zalyv’ factory in the temporarily-occupied city of Kerch,” the Department for Strategic Communications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in a Telegram post, giving no further details. “I hope another ship has followed the Moskva!” Mykola Oleshchuk, commander of Ukraine’s air force, said in a Telegram post, referring to the Russian Black Sea Fleet flagship sunk by Ukrainian missiles on April 14, 2022. Oleshchuk said cruise missiles struck the infrastructure at Zalyv — which is now named B.E. Butoma — “where one of the most modern Russian Navy ships was stationed, a Kalibr cruise missile carrier.” He said he was “awaiting official confirmation of the results.” In a statement carried by Russian news agencies, Russia"s defense ministry said the Ukrainian attack involving 15 cruise missiles damaged one ship. Air defense systems destroyed 13 of the Ukraine-launched missiles, said the statement. Sergei Aksyonov, the Russian-installed head of Crimea, said downed missile fragments had hit a dry dock and that there were no casualties. He also said air defense systems had been in action around a Kerch shipyard named after B.E. Butoma. Military analyst and journalist Andriy Tsaplienko said in a Telegram post that one of Russia’s most modern ships, a small cruise missile carrier launched in 2021, the Askold, was damaged in the attack, according to what he described as preliminary information.
