The Russian-installed governor of Sevastopol says the Crimean Peninsula has been the target of fresh missile strikes. He reported air defense systems had intercepted rockets on Saturday morning. The latest attacks come a day after Ukraine's military struck the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.
Footage has surfaced online showing the moment of the attack on Friday. Russia says its air defense systems shot down five incoming missiles and one serviceman was missing. Ukraine's military however says several senior Russian navy commanders were killed in the strike and dozens more injured.
Meanwhile US media reports suggest Washington plans to send long-range missiles to Ukraine. The reports say Kyiv will get
the Army Tactical Missile System - or ATACMS missiles - that have a range of up to 300 kilometers. Ukraine has repeatedly asked for the weapons. The rockets would enable Kyiv to strike targets far behind the frontlines in Russian occupied territory.
