Explosions follow Ukraine’s naval drone attack on Russian navy base at Novorossiysk
Overnight a Russian warship was seriously damaged in a Ukrainian naval drone attack on Russia’s navy base at Novorossiysk, the first time the Ukrainian navy has projected its power so far from the country’s shores.
Videos posted on social media, which could not be verified, showed a naval vessel tilted to its side being towed by tug boats back to port. Separate videos released by Ukraine’s armed forces showed footage from a camera mounted on a sea drone as it approached a vessel at night.
Ukraine, which rarely comments on attacks on Russian targets, made no official statement on the incident. “Once again, there was no direct attack on the Crimea bridge and there was no explosion in the immediate vicinity,” Oleg Kryuchkov, an adviser to the Russia-installed governor of Crimea, was quoted as saying by Russian news agencies.
