Russia said a warship at the eastern Crimean port of Feodosia had been damaged in a Ukrainian missile strike that targeted a fleet used to launch attacks on Ukrainian cities.

The Russian Defense Ministry didn’t specify the extent of damage to the landing ship Novocherkassk, according to the state RIA Novosti news service. One person was killed and two wounded in Feodosia, the Russia-installed Crimea Governor Sergei Aksyonov said on his Telegram channel Tuesday.
