Russia continues to maintain carriers of Kalibr cruise missiles in the Black Sea. Today, the number of vessels remains the same as yesterday, according to the Ukrainian Navy.

As of 6:00 AM on October 11 (Kyiv time), two Russian vessels equipped with Kalibr cruise missiles, capable of launching up to eight missiles, were recorded in the Black Sea.

Meanwhile, Russian vessels are absent from the Sea of Azov. However, as of the previous day, two ships were spotted in the Mediterranean Sea. One of these vessels is a Kalibr carrier with a total launch capacity of up to four missiles.

Additionally, over the past day, in the interest of Russia, the following vessels passed through the Kerch Strait:

  • to the Black Sea: 1 ship, 0 of which continued toward the Bosporus Strait;
  • to the Sea of Azov: 3 ships, 1 of which were coming from the Bosporus Strait.

The Ukrainian Navy added that Russia continues to violate the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) by disabling Automatic Identification Systems (AIS).

Several days ago, on October 8, 16 Russian ships were spotted in the Black Sea. Among them, 7 were Kalibr missile carriers, and their total salvo could be up to 48 missiles.
