Ukrainian air and naval forces launched a raid of at least ten British-French Storm Shadow / SCALP cruise missiles, and at least three kamikaze robot boats, all targeting major warships from Russia's Black Sea Fleet in Kremlin's main Sevastopol naval port, in occupied Crimea.
Satellite overflights and Russian social media gave a very different picture: a missile-carrying submarine had been totally destroyed, an amphibious assault ship wrecked and set on fire, and all three of the military drydocks in Sevastopol badly damaged.
A devastating missile attack on the fleet's headquarters in occupied Crimea reportedly killed more than 30 officers.
