Frontline situation
On the night of June 5, Ukrainian drones attacked five vessels in the ports of Mariupol, Berdiansk, and in the coastal waters of Crimea. The vessels were transporting grain from occupied territories, fuel, and military cargo. To avoid detection, the ships’ names were painted over, and transponders and radars were switched off.
Meanwhile, Russian troops attacked a civilian food industry enterprise. One employee was killed. Four others sustained injuries of varying severity.
