The $300m submarine is only one of four able to launch Kalibr cruise missiles.

It was reportedly sunk by a missile strike.

The Ukrainian military said it launched a successful strike against a Russian #submarine on Friday and damaged an #S400 air defense system in occupied #Crimea.

A Royal Air Force Boeing RC-135W aircraft operating over the Black Sea on Wednesday played cat and mouse with Russian forces for almost four hours as it probed Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula air defenses. At one point it switched off its transponders, effectively disappearing from civilian radars for more than an hour offshore from the major Russian base of #Sevastopol.

The mission only ended after a Russian Sukhoi-27 fighter caught up with it.

Kyiv Post · UK Leads Crimean Air Reconnaissance Operations Against Russian Air DefensesBy Stefan Korshak

#Russia 🇷🇺 accidentally dropped a FAB-3000 bomb on its own town of #Belgorod. There were at least 38 such unintended bomb releases in Belgorod oblast over the last year.

#Ukraine 🇺🇦 continues long-range hits on 🇷🇺 military targets in #Crimea, with explosions reported in #Sevastopol and #Balaklava.

🇷🇺 made nominal advances in #Stelmakhivka and #Makiivka (south of #Kupyansk), #Evgenivka and #Nevelske (former #Avdiivka axis).

Fierce fighting continues on #Toretsk and #Pokrovsk directions.

Russia should blame Russia

- no visual evidence of a Western missile fragment was provided

- if it were a fragmentation Atacms missile as Russia claims, the explosive submunitions would have caused a massacre upon touching the ground, but in this video they fall on the beach next to people fleeing without exploding or apparently injuring them
t.me/sevastopol_kp/19421

- it was probably the result of the explosion of a Russian missile, due to some error or malfunction or after having intercepted an Atacms that ended up in the water and was not captured in the video

- why are there people relaxing on the beach a few hundred meters away from a military base while military targets have been attacked almost daily in #Crimea for months?

TelegramКП СевастопольЖуткие кадры!😱 Видео с камер видеонаблюдения на пляже Учкуевка в момент атаки ВСУ на Севастополь 23 июня баллистическими ракетами с кассетным боеприпасом ATACMS. От их пуска до прилета проходит от полутора до трех минут. Одно мгновение - и снаряды разрываются, люди в панике бегут подальше от моря. Укрыться или убежать за эти секунды просто нереально... 🐔 Подпишись на «КП-Севастополь»

#Russians have criticized #RussianAuthorities for not using #AirRaid sirens to warn #civilians of the danger.

Several Russian military bloggers have also criticized their authorities for failing to detect and destroy all the missiles before they approached #Sevastopol, and for failing to build shelters near the beach. #Crimea #Ukraine
