Russia blames Ukraine for the attack.
The bases of the Russian Black Sea Fleet on the annexed peninsula of Crimea are targeted on Saturday, according to pro-Russian authorities of the “heaviest attacks” with drones since the start of the Ukraine conflict on February 24. Russia blames Ukraine for the attack.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced in Moscow that she was supported by British instructors. According to Moscow, nine flying drones were used in the attack and seven Swimming drones – unmanned remotely operated boats. They were all shot down. According to official information, the minesweeper “Ivan Golubets” and some port facilities were damaged. However, video footage purporting to show the attack suggests more ships may have been hit.
Ukraine is silent on the attack
Ukraine has repeatedly declared that it will take back Crimea, which Russia has occupied since 2014. Drones have been shot down there again and again for months. Mikhail Raswoschaeyev, governor of Sevastopol, announced on Thursday that a drone had been intercepted as it approached a power plant.
The peninsula is also repeatedly shaken by explosions, for which Russia blames Ukraine. The authorities blame “saboteurs” and “terrorists” for this. Ukraine does not officially commit to this.
