Ukrainian forces struck the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in Russian-held Sevastopol early on Sunday (July 31).
That’s according to the Crimean port city’s governor.
Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev told Reuters six people were wounded in the attack, when what was presumed to be a drone flew into the courtyard of the headquarters.
Heavy Russian strikes also hit the southern Ukrainian port city of Mykolaiv overnight and early on Sunday, killing the owner of one of the country’s largest grain producing and exporting companies, according to the local governor.
Meanwhile, fierce fighting in the eastern Donestsk region continues, and hundreds of thousands of people are still living in combat zones.
In a televised address late on Saturday (July 30), Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered the mandatory evacuation of citizens in the area, which Russia seeks to control completely.
Swathes of the Donbas were held before the invasion by Russian-backed separatists.
“The more people leave the Donetsk region now, the fewer people the Russian army will have time to kill,” he said, adding that residents who left would be given compensation.
Ukraine and Russia have traded accusations in recent days over a missile strike or explosion early on Friday (July 29) that appeared to have killed dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war in the front-line town of Olenivka, held by Moscow.
Reuters journalists confirmed some of the deaths at the prison, but could not immediately verify the differing versions of events.
Russia on Sunday invited the United Nations and Red Cross experts to probe the incident.
Ukraine has accused Russia of atrocities against civilians and identified more than 10,000 possible war crimes.
Russia denies targeting civilians and war crimes during the invasion, which it calls a “special military operation”.

I Hope the Ukro-Fascists are going to hell soon.
US special forces should just call themselves “Ukrainian backed separatists” take out this savage war criminal Putin and just call it a “Ukrainian special military operation“… Play by Putin’s rules! Because he is laughing at the world and your Geneva convention.
Russia "invited the Red Cross and the UN", but has not let them in.
Typical.
How can anyone even countenance believing those barbaric liars?
Crazy Russians! Crazy Putin!
"Russia invited the UN and Red Cross to probe the incident."
Why would Russia blow up their own prisons and then invite investigators. Maybe Ukrainian army was trying to liberate them and missed? Who knows.
👍👍👍👍👍
Look at the puppet
If russia wants to allow people in to see about the truth of this attack, then they must allow them to see every sight that they want to see, especially the nuclear power station, which they have denied attacking, but have refused anyone to be able to verify it, and they have probably refused it for a very simple reason……
Five Stars for Ukraine !!!! God Bless them!
Ukraine has inadvertantly become the tip of the NATO "spear", even they're not a member.
