🚨 BREAKING: Russian Telegram channels are reporting that Ukrainian intelligence has successfully eliminated the commander of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in a targeted operation. While no official statement has been issued by the Russian Ministry of Defense as of now, the reports are spreading rapidly across pro-Russian media networks.
If confirmed, this marks a significant strategic and symbolic blow to Russia’s naval command structure, especially as the Black Sea Fleet has been pivotal in the war—used for missile strikes, naval blockades, and operations against Ukraine’s southern coast.
This would not be the first high-profile elimination carried out by Ukraine’s security apparatus, which has previously targeted senior officers through precision strikes, intelligence-led ambushes, and even cross-border sabotage.
Western intelligence services are reportedly analyzing the credibility of the claim. Ukraine has not commented yet.
This developing story may indicate a sharp escalation in Ukraine’s covert warfare tactics and a weakening Russian hold over strategic maritime operations in the Black Sea.
