The situation in the occupied Crimea
Explosions have become more frequent in the Crimea, occupied by Russia. This is due to Ukrainian intelligence conducting special operations there to destroy Russian equipment.
Recently, the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine used a Magura V5 marine drone to hit a Russian speedboat.
It is also known that thanks to these maritime drones, more than one Russian ship was destroyed and sunk.
