Ukraine hits Russian warships
The strike marks another significant blow to Russia's Black Sea Fleet as Ukraine continues to target naval assets in occupied territories.
Local officials in Crimea reported hearing multiple explosions near the port facilities.
The operation utilized advanced drone technology that bypassed Russian electronic warfare defenses.
While Russia has not officially confirmed the extent of the damage, satellite imagery appears to show smoke rising from the targeted areas.
