Satellite images show aftermath of Russian Black Sea Fleet strikes

Satellite images have been released showing the aftermath of a missile strike claimed by Ukraine's military on a communications hub in the city of Sevastopol, in annexed Crimea, which is used by Russian President Vladimir Putin's prized Black Sea Fleet.

The two photos, dated March 21 and 24, are from California-based global imaging company Planet Labs and were obtained by Schemes, a project by U.S.-funded Radio Liberty. They show a building's roof collapsed in the attack.

On Sunday, Ukraine's military said it had successfully attacked the communications hub, unspecified infrastructure facilities, as well as two of Russia's large landing ships, the Yamal and the Azov, dealing another blow to Putin as Kyiv targets his Black Sea Fleet.

Russian officials didn't confirm the strikes and damage caused, but the Kremlin-installed governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev, said on his Telegram channel that it was the "most massive attack in recent times."
