Attack on the Black Sea fleet
On August 1, the Ministry of Defense of Russia announced an attack by maritime drones on two Russian military ships in the Black Sea, located 340 km from Sevastopol. Allegedly, the drones were destroyed.
In Moscow, it is claimed that the attack was carried out by three maritime unmanned boats on the patrol ships "Serhii Kotov" and "Vasyl Bykov" of the Black Sea Fleet. These ships were attempting to monitor "navigation in the southwestern part of the Black Sea."
