Kyiv, Ukraine CNN —Ukraine said it had carried out a sea drone attack on a Russian naval base, as dramatic videos appeared to show a damaged Russian warship listing heavily in the Black Sea early Friday.
Novorossiysk, near the Russian city of Krasnodar, is one of Russia’s largest ports and is a base for Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.
“Therefore, the presence of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea, and with it – #Moscow’s traditional blackmail will be put to an end.
Black Sea strikesUkraine has previously targeted Russian naval assets in the Black Sea.
As Ukraine’s sea drone program has developed, it has increasingly allowed the military to attack and surveil Russia’s fleet in the Black Sea and on the occupied Crimean peninsula.
