Sept 13 (Reuters) - The Sevastopol Shipyard on the Crimean Peninsula was on fire on Wednesday after Ukraine launched a missile attack on the port, injuring at least 24 people, the Russia-installed governor of the city said.

"All emergency services are working on the site, there is no danger to civilian objects in the city," Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Moscow-installed governor of Sevastopol, the largest city in Crimea and a major Black Sea port, said on the Telegram messaging app.

Razvozhayev said earlier, without providing details, that the fire was sparked in result of a Ukrainian missile attack on Sevastopol.

The strategic Sevastopol Shipyard on the Crimean Peninsula that Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014, builds and repairs ships and submarines of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, which has launched drone and missile attacks on Ukraine.

Razvozhayev posted a photo of big flames engulfing in the dark what seemed like port infrastructure. Russian Telegram channels posted videos and more photos of massive flames at a facility bordering water.

Reuters could not independently verify the report. There was no immediate comment from Kyiv.

Ukraine almost never publicly claims responsibility for attacks inside Russia or on Russian-controlled territory in Ukraine, but has been saying in recent months that destroying Russia's military infrastructure helps Kyiv's counteroffensive.

Despite Elon's best efforts

I mean, he managed to delay this for a year. So he earned whatever Putin gives him.

Yeah - probably just an accident that Starlink had a worldwide outage somewhere around that Ukrainian attack…

Delightful. Do it again.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

They did it, and they did it cleanly. Another solid victory for the defenders of Ukraine.

It's strange that Russia seems to be truthful in this case. I'm guessing they tell the truth every so often to keep everyone confused?

It could be worse and they are only mentioning things that are obviously confirmed.
