/1. In the morning Ukrainian sources reported that Russian Project 266M Kovrovets was destroyed/damaged. Soon some Russian sources began to leak information that there was indeed a damaged/destroyed Russian ship during tonight’s strikes on Sevastopol, but it was not Kovrovets, but “something worth”, without going to much into details.

Now there are such claims regarding the ship that was targeted:

“Project 22800 Karakurt “Cyclone” was hit. Information from the source. Requires additional confirmation.

It is reported that tonight, May 19, 2024, a missile attack was carried out on a small missile ship of Project 22800 “Cyclone” in the port of Sevastopol.

The strike was carried out by two ATACMS ballistic missiles.

As a result of the strike, 6 servicemen of the Russian Black Sea Fleet were killed and 11 more were injured.

The ship was sunk.”

/2. First satellite imagery of the location of the reported strike on Russian Project 266M Kovrovets and Project 22800 Cyclone in the Sevastopol harbour.

There is a damage to the building visible as a result of the strike. However Cyclone and Kovrovets are nowhere to be seen. They have not yet been found in the entire Sevastopol Bay area.

/1. At night there was a reported missile attack on Crimea. As claimed by Russians ATACMS missiles were used for strikes on Crimea. Russian Belbek military airfield near Sevastopol is one of the targeted locations. A fire in the airfields area was reported as a result of the attacks. No information about damage on the ground yet.
P.S: Russian media publish footages of ATACMS submunitions as claimed from the Belbek airfield area.

/2. Video of the fire on the territory of the Russian Belbek military airfield in Crimea.

/3. Russian claims regarding night strikes on Belbek military airfield in Crimea:

“At night, Ukrainian formations launched a new attack on Crimean airfields. This time the target was Belbek, at which up to 16 ATACMS operational-tactical missiles with a cluster warhead were fired. (Interesting to watch how the Russian claimed number of ATACMS missiles increased from 8 in the early morning to 10 and now to 16)

The sounds of the work of the 31st Air Force and Air Defense divisions were heard by the population of Crimea and Sevastopol around 2 am. Even residents of Chernomorskoe noted flashes and sounds of explosions in the sky. In total, about 13 missiles were shot down on the approaches to Belbek.

Unfortunately, we failed to shoot down one or two missiles. And the results of the hits again became known to the whole world thanks to the publication of video from a surveillance camera on the Internet. How and why this is still possible in the third year of the war has long been a rhetorical question.

As we ourselves and our colleagues have noted more than once, until criminal penalties are introduced for the publication of such videos and photos, Ukrainian formations will have no problem assessing the results of their strikes even without the help of NATO satellites.

It is not entirely clear where the missiles were launched from. Previous raids were from the Berislav area (Kherson region). But, as a rule, the enemy changes positions to prevent detection. And the ATACMS range of 300 km increases the combat capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

It is possible that this time the launch was carried out from the Kherson region. However, some of our sources report that the missiles’ flight was recorded from the direction of Snake island. So the launchers could be located somewhere near Vilkovo on the border with Romania.”
