In a daring move, the Ukrainian Air Force claims to have targeted a Russian vessel carrying Shahi drones in Crimea. While the authenticity of a video depicting the explosion remains unverified, the Ukrainian Air Force commander shared it to support their claim. The Russian government acknowledged the attack, asserting that the fire was under control. However, state media reported that a navy ship sustained damage from the strike.
The incident took place in the occupied town of Feodosia in Crimea, specifically on the port. Ukrainian forces allegedly hit the Russian navy ship named Novokuznetsk. It is particularly significant as the vessel reportedly carried Iranian Shahed drones, which Moscow has extensively employed in previous attacks within Ukraine.
