Ukraine Intensifies Attacks on Russian Black Sea Fleet with Long Neptune Missiles

Ukraine's deployment of advanced Long Neptune missiles marks a significant escalation in its naval strategy, targeting Russian vessels in Crimea.

Ukrainian forces used Long Neptune missiles in a recent raid, striking the Russian rescue ship Kommuna in Sevastopol, Crimea.
The Long Neptune, an extended range version of the Neptune missile, can reach targets up to 200 miles away, enhancing Ukraine's naval strike capability.
Despite the attack, the historic Russian vessel Kommuna reportedly suffered minimal visible damage, with its operational status unclear.
Russian defenses reportedly repelled part of the missile attack, minimizing damage to its fleet in Sevastopol.
Ukraine plans to increase production of Neptune missiles tenfold, potentially boosting its ability to conduct frequent and more extensive naval strikes.
