The commander of Russia’s infamous Black Sea Fleet was killed along with a great swathe of officers in Friday’s missile attack on the fleet’s HQ, according to Ukraine.
Sokolov, who previously held a prestigious role at the head of a military academy, was brought back into active service to reinstate pride in the Black Sea Fleet.
Over the weekend, rumors on social media began to suggest that Sokolov had been caught up in the explosion. The Special Operations Forces posted its confirmation on Telegram on Monday. The special forces unit did not name any of the other victims of the attack by one of the Storm Shadow air-launched missiles donated by Britain and France earlier this year.
