Russia has deployed a missile carrier in the Black Sea. As a result, Ukraine continues to face the threat of shelling from the south, according to a report from the Ukrainian Navy.

As of 06:00 Kyiv time on April 25, there is one carrier of Kalibr cruise missiles in the Black Sea, with a total salvo of up to 6 missiles.

Meanwhile, in the Sea of Azov, there are no enemy vessels, as in previous days. However, four ships have been spotted in the Mediterranean Sea, two of which are carriers of Kalibr missiles with a total salvo of up to 12 missiles.

In the past 24 hours, in Russia's interests, the following vessels passed through the Kerch Strait:

  • to the Black Sea - 2 vessels, with one continuing its movement from the Bosporus Strait;
  • to the Sea of Azov - 8 vessels, with 4 continuing their movement from the Bosporus Strait.

"Russia continues to violate the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) of 1974 by turning off the Automatic Identification Systems," the Ukrainian Navy added.

Following a massive Russian attack on Ukraine earlier this morning, 11 ships were recorded in the Black Sea, 4 of which were carriers of Kalibr missiles, with a total salvo of up to 16 missiles.

Additionally, we reported that overnight, Russia launched 215 aerial targets at Ukraine, consisting of 145 drones and 70 missiles of various types (12 of which were Kalibr missiles fired from the Black Sea area).

This morning, it became known that air defense forces shot down 48 missiles and 64 Shahed drones. Another 68 imitator drones were locally lost.
