ukrainian forces are reported to have carried out more attacks on russian hardware in the crimean peninsula. smoke was seen rising from the headquarters of russia s black sea fleet in sevastapol, with moscow claiming it shot down a ukrainian drone. russia has occupied crimea since 2014 and there have been a series of recent attacks on russian military infrastructure there. earlier, i spoke to our correspondent in the ukrainian capital kyiv, james waterhouse, and i asked him how destabilising these latest attacks might be for russia. (sot attacks might be for russia. i think it sends a warning shot, a reminder, while the front line further north in ukraine is not really moving, it is a message to russia to say look, we are busting the myth that you can base your naval fleet next to crimea as well as stage aircraft there to launch attacks across the country. and it also challenges the idea that crimea is part of russia. kyiv is very keen to stress all along that it remains pa
