Ukraine's navy claims it has likely destroyed the last of Russia's cruise missile carriers operating out of the crucial Black Sea peninsula of Crimea. In remarks made to Radio Free Europe, Ukraine's navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk said the navy was currently trying to verify whether or not it had destroyed the small missile carrier Tsiklon on Saturday.

Three strikes were recorded at one location, at one of the ships in the area of the Engineering Bay of Sevastopol.
