Russia continues to maintain a missile carrier in the Black Sea for the second consecutive day, posing an ongoing threat of shelling to Ukraine, according to the Telegram account of the Ukrainian Naval Forces.
As of 06:00 Kyiv time, one ship carrying Kalibr cruise missiles, with a total salvo of up to 6 missiles, has been detected in the Black Sea.
Meanwhile, there are no enemy vessels in the Sea of Azov, as in previous days and weeks. However, two Russian ships have been spotted in the Mediterranean Sea. Both are carrying Kalibr missiles, with a total salvo of up to 12 missiles.
In addition, over the past 24 hours, the following vessels passed through the Kerch Strait:
- to the Black Sea - 6 ships, of which 5 continued towards the Bosporus Strait;
- to the Sea of Azov - 6 ships, of which 4 continued from the Bosporus Strait.
"Russia continues to violate the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) by disabling automatic identification systems," the Ukrainian Naval Forces summarized.
About a month ago, The New York Times reported that Ukraine was allegedly preparing an operation to destroy the cruiser Moscow in collaboration with the US.
However, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Naval Forces, Dmytro Pletenchuk, denied this information, stating that the operation was planned and carried out exclusively by the Ukrainian Naval Forces.
