Massive explosions have been seen hitting a key naval port in annexed Crimea that Russia claim was targeted in a major Ukrainian drone assault.
Russian Black Sea warships were reportedly having to fight the attack off in Sevastopol, the largest city in Crimea which was annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
According to Ukrainian sources, several of the Russian ships from the fleet were blown up.
Local media are reporting that rescuers this morning are still attempting to put out a fire on one of the ships.
Residents claimed that the huge explosions 'shook' their homes and windows while black smoke was seen rising from the docks area.

Where is all those Bakhmut and Kherson incessantly spammed out day after day after day Ukraine ‘winning!’ articles and threads at, Marcusmaximus?
Columns of smoke indicate that something, or several things, large and flammable were hit, as the weapons used would have blown up without such secondary effects.
Anyway, we will likely have commercial satellite imagery soon enough.
Where is all those Bakhmut and Kherson incessantly spammed out day after day after day Ukraine ‘winning!’ articles and threads at, buwaya?
Russkies cannot defend their prime Crimea real estate against Ukraine’s drones Bwahahahhah And with the Kerch bridge reduced to one lane of traffic. No heavy trucks permitted. And the Kerch bridge railway 100% knocked out.
Now it is very difficult to escape from Crimea. With this drone attack, Poooty Poot is really going to be steamed.
Right.
You know why we don’t see any of you daily propaganda peddlers NOT posting them incessant Ukraine ‘winning’ articles and threads, cause they ain’t.....
“Ukrainian insider channel:
Our source in the OP said that foreign volunteers / mercenaries refused to take part in the assault on Kherson, which is why the entire operation is postponed for several weeks until the Ukrainian Armed Forces collect new reserves.”

The humiliation of the eleven-time-zone country continues. The Russian Army now has the reputation of Mussolini’s Italian army. The Russian regulars, the Wagner Group, the Chechens, and even the Russian airborne forces cannot compete against the Ukrainians. The Russian Army’s loser reputatation will compound it’s morale problems.
Strong indeed....even Ukrainian soldiers are asserting such:
“A Ukrainian servicewoman has praised our mobilized soldiers’ fighting ability and criticizes the Ukrainian side for underestimating them:
Schmucks, eh?
Bums, eh?
Are you civilians and all the rest of you fools or what?
Do you really think that our people are dying at the hands of inept mobilised troops,
that our people are so degenerate that in some areas they are almost dying by the company at the hands of inexperienced mobilised troops?
You’re really f**ked up…”

As par, you have no utter clue that which you spew out. Bet.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stands next to the wreckage of an Iranian Shahed-136 drone, which Iran denies having supplied to Russia, and which Russia uses to attack Ukrainian cities.

That green screen basement bunker works wonders, don’t it?
Their equipment is a big failure. No nations will be buying weapons from these clowns. So Russia will lose billions in income.
“The Ukrainian command continues to throw its soldiers into new suicidal attacks in the area of the Donetsk airport.
As a result of the competent actions of the scouts of the DPR special forces battalion, the enemy suffered heavy losses,
and now the approaches to our positions are literally strewn with the bodies of destroyed Ukrainian militants.”
