Ukraine launched a major attack against a Russian naval base in occupied Crimea early this morning.
At 1am today, the Ukrainian armed forces struck targets near the Kerch Bridge with precision guided missiles.
A Russian Mangust patrol boat was destroyed in the attack, a Ukrainian military source has told Sky News.
The source also confirmed that Western supplied weapons were used, adding they "proved extremely effective against this Russian military target despite high concentrations of Russian Air Defence Systems".
Nikolai Lukashenko, Crimea's Russian-installed transportation chief, claimed on Telegram that Ukraine's overnight attack damaged two transport ferries.
