This morning, explosions were heard in the area of the Alupka village in the temporarily occupied Crimea, after which the Russian occupiers took their helicopters into the air. Later, footage of smoke in the Black Sea was posted online. At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defense traditionally claimed that the drone attack had been repelled.
Later, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that a large Russian landing ship Tsezar Kunikov was destroyed off the coast of the temporarily occupied Crimea. At the time of the defeat, the ship was in the territorial waters of Ukraine near Alupka.
The DIU showed a video of the sinking of the Russian landing ship and noted that it was attacked by Magura V5 marine drones.
