In an incident in Crimea, a Russian naval ship sustained damage in an airstrike carried out by Ukrainian forces, as confirmed by the Russian Defence Ministry. The nature and extent of the damage to the ship are yet to be detailed. The development underscores the ongoing tensions in the region, and both nations are closely monitoring the situation.
“In a recent development, a Russian naval ship stationed in Crimea suffered damage due to an airstrike conducted by Ukrainian forces, as confirmed by Russia’s Defence Ministry on Tuesday.
The targeted vessel, the landing ship Novocherkassk, was struck at a base located in the city of Feodosia by guided missiles launched from aircraft. The Defence Ministry reported that anti-aircraft fire successfully destroyed two Ukrainian fighter jets during the attack.
Over the preceding months, Ukrainian forces have engaged in various attacks in the Crimea region, primarily utilizing sea drones. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attributes these attacks to the restoration of navigation in the Black Sea and enabling the export of millions of tons of grain from Ukraine.”
“Ukrainian Air Force Commander, Mykola Oleschuk, delivered a mocking message via the Telegram app, stating, ‘The Russian fleet has become smaller.’ He called on Russians to leave Crimea, annexed by Russia in 2014, ‘while it’s not too late.’ The statement did not confirm whether any Ukrainian planes were shot down during the attack.”
“According to a summary from the Ukrainian presidential office on Tuesday, Russia deployed 18 drones targeting the Odesa and Mykolaiv regions. Ukrainian forces successfully shot down 13 of these drones, preventing potential threats. However, the remaining drones caused damage to infrastructure, although no casualties were reported as a result of these incidents.”
