Ukrainian navy hits Russian Black Sea fleet communications hub in occupied Crimea

Ukrainian Naval Forces conducted a strike against a Russian Black Sea Fleet communication facility in occupied Crimea during the early hours of 11 September, according to an official Navy statement.

The Russian Black Sea Fleet represents a major naval force historically stationed in Sevastopol, comprising warships, support vessels, and auxiliary craft that project Russian power across the Black Sea region and support military operations in Ukraine. Ukraine systematically targets this fleet to reduce Russian naval capabilities, limit Moscow's ability to conduct military and logistical operations at sea, and disrupt electronic warfare systems.

The operation targeted the 184th Research Experimental Base in Sevastopol, which housed a communication node responsible for coordinating Black Sea Fleet operations, the Navy reported. The facility served as a command and control center for Russian naval units operating in the region.

The military statement confirmed the strike occurred "on the night of September 11th" but did not disclose specific details about the extent of damage caused by the attack.

The targeted installation is situated in Kozacha Bay, according to the monitoring group "Crimean Wind," which tracks military activities in the peninsula. 

In April 2022, Ukraine sank Russia's flagship missile cruiser Moskva using Neptune anti-ship missiles and recently, drone strikes disabled a Russian MPSV07 vessel near Novorossiysk, damaging electronic reconnaissance capabilities.
