Russian monitoring channels report a possible launch of Ukrainian drones from Odesa, heading toward Cape Tarkhankut and further east.
There are also reports of a possible launch of ballistic missiles toward the south from the border area between the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions.

Situation in Crimea
In recent months, Ukrainian forces have been regularly striking Russian military targets in temporarily occupied Crimea.
Following recent Ukrainian attacks, structural degradation was observed on the Crimean Bridge.
At the same time, the Russians are constructing an unusual structure on the Crimean Bridge and continue to amass air defense forces in the crossing area.
Additionally, Russian troops are searching for alternatives to railway ferries in Crimea after their destruction by the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
