The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have reported that 34 Russian officers were killed in the attack on the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in occupied Sevastopol.

Quote: "Updated information on enemy losses as a result of the SOF’s special operation to destroy the Minsk landing ship and the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation.

Because the Minsk landing ship was due to go on combat duty the next day, personnel were on board. Irretrievable losses amounted to 62 occupiers.

Following the destruction of the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, 34 officers died, including the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Another 105 occupiers were wounded. The headquarters building is beyond repair.

Viktor Sokolov, Admiral (rank equivalent to a 3-star General) is the highest Russian officer killed so far in the war. His death brings the total of Russian generals (and now Admirals) killed to at least 9 since the beginning of the war. Russia lost 34 officers in a single military operation. Zero casualties among Ukrainian military. An unbelievable attrition ratio.
