ALBAWABA - Video evidence has emerged of the assault on the Russian Black Sea Fleet headquarters, orchestrated by Ukraine, resulting in the tragic demise of nine high-ranking Russian commanders.
In the chilling footage, a second Storm Shadow missile can be seen striking the blazing headquarters building.
The assault, which transpired on Friday, has been confirmed by Kyrylo Budanov, Ukraine's military intelligence chief, to have claimed the lives of a minimum of nine senior officers, with an additional 16 individuals sustaining injuries.
Among the wounded, General Alexander Romanchuk's condition is reported to be grave. While unsubstantiated reports suggest that Admiral Viktor Sokolov, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, may have also fallen victim to the attack, these claims await official verification.
This revelation comes one year after Putin appointed Sokolov as the Black Sea Fleet's commander following the sinking of the fleet's flagship, the Moskva, by a Ukrainian Neptune missile.
The disclosure of this footage has sent shockwaves through diplomatic circles and raises grave concerns about the ongoing conflict in the region.
