Ukraine claimed responsibility for a missile attack Friday on the headquarters of Russia's navy in Crimea, delivering a major blow for Moscow as it suffers a string of attacks on the strategically significant port in recent months.

"The headquarters of the fleet have been hit in an enemy attack," said Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russian-installed governor of Sevastopol.
