The commander of the Russian Black Sea fleet was killed as a result of the attack launched by Ukraine on the navy’s headquarters last week, the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces has claimed.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Ukrainian military attacked with Storm Shadow missiles – provided by France and the UK – the Russian Black Sea fleet’s headquarters in occupied Sevastopol.<\/p>\n

In the immediate aftermath of the air strike, Russia’s Defence Ministry said one serviceman had gone missing, revising its earlier statement that the man had been killed.<\/p>\n

Moscow did not share the name of the military man affected by the attack.<\/p>\n

But Ukraine has now claimed Admiral Viktor Sokolov died aged 61 as a result of the air strike.<\/p>\n

The official had been handpicked by Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n
