This week has demonstrated that Ukrainian military forces are prepared to confront Russian aggressors wherever they may be, stated President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"This week has demonstrated that in the Black Sea, on the territory of Crimea, and anywhere else, we will confront the occupant. All credit to our brave men who are restoring justice to Ukraine in this way," he declared.
Attacks by Russian ships
This week, Ukrainian military forces carried out several successful operations targeting Russian ships in the Black Sea.
On November 4, the Defense Forces struck the shipyard Zatoka in Crimea. The attack damaged the carrier of Kalibr missiles, the corvette Askol'd, which the occupiers planned to launch and include in the Black Sea Fleet in December of this year.
Photos of the aftermath were presented by the Strategic Communications Department of the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The images revealed significant damage inflicted by the Defense Forces on the enemy ship Askol'd.
According to available information, the Russian vessel sustained substantial damage and may be irreparable.
Furthermore, on November 10, intelligence operatives from the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) carried out a successful special operation in Crimea. In the town of Chornomorske, two small landing ships were targeted, and losses among Russian personnel are currently being clarified.
GUR confirmed that on November 10, the operation was conducted using surface drones. One ship of the older Project 1176 Acula and the other of the newer Project 11770 Serna were sent to the bottom.
