\nUkrainian forces struck the headquarters of Russia\u2019s Black Sea Fleet in Russian-held Sevastopol early on Sunday, the Crimean port city\u2019s governor said, while Ukraine reported heavy Russian attacks against two southern cities.
\nSevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev was quoted by Russian media as saying five members of staff were wounded in the attack when what was presumed to be a drone flew into the courtyard at the headquarters.
\nThe attack coincided with Russia\u2019s Navy Day, which President Vladimir Putin marked by announcing that the Russian navy would receive what he called \u201cformidable\u201d hypersonic Zircon cruise missiles in the next few months. Hypersonic weapons can travel at nine times the speed of sound.
