Tonight it was (or still is) rather loud in and around Sevastopol. As usual russians claim all drones/missiles were shot down.
Possible targets were assets of the Black Sea fleet.

Mix of claims by Ukraine

Black Sea Fleet command/communications centre hit by at least three (large) weapons. Likely Stormshadow or SCALP. Also reported damaged/destroyed are another two Ropucha-class landing ships, along with three Su-27 family aircraft at Belbek airfield (Russian naval aviation operates the -27, -30 and -33).

Social media videos from the attack show at least five missiles impacting targets and other impacts/explosions can be heard in the background.

Reports by Russian sources are that they intercepted somewhere between "at least 10" all the way up to "several dozen" missiles. Video shows one SAM successfully intercepting a missile, although at VERY close range (likely under a kilometer).
 
This: "Military analysts say the country is content to absorb these losses in pursuit of larger goals outlined by President Vladimir Putin"

Just how, exactly, can Russia pursue a "larger goal" if they don't have the men, equipment or money?

Or is this shades of Hitler still dreaming of a thousand year Reich while bombs rain down above his bunker?
