CNN —Ukraine claimed it hit two Russian landing craft in occupied Crimea with sea drones in an overnight operation, the latest in a series of escalating strikes on the peninsula illegally annexed by Russia in 2014.
“Two Russian assault boats have been hit with Ukrainian sea drones near Chernomorske, Crimea,” Andriy Yusov, a representative of Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (GUR), told CNN.
The video appears to show two sea drones approaching targets that appear to be landing craft at a dock.
The second drone appears to film the first one as it hits the landing craft.
The Russian Defense Ministry said its forces intercepted three Ukrainian drones over Crimea in the early hours on Friday.
