Ukrainian Drone Strike Hits Russia’s Black Sea Fleet

After weeks of Russian drone strikes on Ukrainian cities and towns, Kyiv appears to have landed a major counterpunch, hitting the Russian Black Sea fleet off the coast of Crimea.

“Ukraine has carried out a ‘massive’ drone attack on the Black Sea Fleet in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol, damaging one warship,” the BBC reported citing Russian sources. “Nine drones were used, a top official said. Ukraine has not commented,” the broadcaster added.

Saturday’s drone strike was the biggest Ukrainian attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet in six months when they sank the flagship cruiser Moskva on April 14.
