Videos of Russia’s kamikaze attack on Vuhledar released<\/h3>\n

One of the Russian navy’s pride and joy, the newly-built Askold missile ship, has been destroyed in a devastating Ukranian missile strike.<\/p>\n

The elite warship was struck in spectacular fashion while it sat in the Butoma shipyard in Kerch, Crimea.<\/p>\n

The strike took place close to a major bridge linking the occupied peninsula to Russia.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian army launched 15 cruise missiles at the shipyard in a blistering onslaught on Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to state media, Russia’s defence ministry admitted the attack, saying: “On November 4, the Ukrainian army launched 15 cruise missiles at the B.E. Butoma shipyard in the city of Kerch.”<\/p>\n

It added: “Air defence systems shot down 13 of the cruise missiles.<\/p>\n

“As a result of being hit by an enemy cruise missile, a ship located at the plant was damaged.”<\/p>\n

Russia did not say how badly the ship was damaged or name which ship was attacked.<\/p>\n

However, new satellite images show the destructive aftermath of the strike on the Russian Black Sea Fleet vessel.<\/p>\n

The images, obtained by Schemes, a project by US-funded Radio Liberty, show a before and after comparison of the shipyard.<\/p>\n
