captured in May 2023<\/p>\n<p>Another soldier was treated for a severe hand injury by field medics.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The city was captured by Russian forces in May, but Ukraine&#8217;s military has expended massive amounts of resources and time in an attempt to take it back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine took back the cities of\u00a0Andriivka and Klishchiivka, which both lie south of Bakhmut, last week, though analysts have said that this does not amount to anything close to a breakthrough of Russia&#8217;s defences in the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Ukraine&#8217;s military claims it has made significant progress in other areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, it said that the missile strike that destroyed the Sevastopol headquarters of Russia&#8217;s navy last week killed 34 officers, including the fleet commander, though it provided no evidence to support its claim.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine&#8217;s Special Operation Forces said on Telegram that its strike on the main building of the Black Sea Fleet headquarters in the port city of Sevastopol had wounded 105 people.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The claims could not independently be verified and are vastly different from what Russia has reported.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/25\/21\/75824347-12559379-image-a-33_1695672393207.jpg\"

missing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Moscow has provided no further updates.<\/p>\n<p>The Crimean Peninsula, which Russia illegally annexed from Ukraine in 2014, has been a frequent target since Vladimir Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine last February.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Crimea has served as the key hub supporting the invasion.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday evening, Russian-installed governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev, said Russian air defenses shot down a missile in the vicinity of the military airfield in Belbek, a village near the port city. He didn&#8217;t offer any details about possible damage or casualties.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine has increasingly targeted naval facilities in Crimea in recent weeks, while the brunt of its summer counteroffensive makes slow gains in the east and south of Ukraine, the Institute for the Study of War said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

increase from what Ukraine&#8217;s intelligence chief, Kyrylo Budanov, told Voice of America on Saturday when he said at least nine people were killed and 16 others wounded in the attack that left the building smouldering.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He also said Alexander Romanchuk, a Russian general commanding forces along the key southeastern front line, was &#8216;in a very serious condition.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The new report indicates that the fleet&#8217;s chief, Admiral Viktor Sokolov, was also killed, though no supporting evidence was offered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He was not named in the statement by the Special Operation Forces, but Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the minister of internal affairs of Ukraine posted his name and a photo on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine&#8217;s military also offered more details about Friday&#8217;s attack, claiming that its air force conducted 12 strikes on the Black Sea Fleet headquarters, targeting areas where personnel, military equipment and weapons were concentrated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It said that two anti-aircraft missile systems and four Russian artillery units were hit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

countries facing the threat of hunger.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The attacks have destroyed silos, warehouses, oil terminals and other infrastructure critical for storage and shipping.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian

locations or provide other specifics to support its claim. It also said it downed several Ukrainian drones.<\/p>\n<p>The attacks came as independent U.N.-backed human rights experts said they found new evidence of war crimes committed by Russian forces and as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the arrival of the first Abrams tanks sent by the U.S. that could figure in their slow-moving summer counteroffensive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/25\/21\/75824339-12559379-image-a-46_1695672504159.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Independent UN-backed human rights experts said they found new evidence of war crimes committed by Russian forces<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/25\/21\/75824343-12559379-image-a-47_1695672506792.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The UN Independent Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine said it found evidence of crimes committed by both sides in the war, but far more by Russians<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/25\/21\/75824341-12559379-image-a-48_1695672508455.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>In eastern Ukraine, Russians attacked residential areas of 10 cities and villages in the Donetsk region, killing two people in the village of Zarichne<\/p>\n<p>The U.N.
