Russian state media reported Saturday that the attack damaged the ship’s engine room, disabling the vessel.
For the second time in less than 24 hours, Ukraine has attacked a Russian vessel using one of its own unique crowdfunded maritime drones.
Russian state media reported Saturday that an oil tanker was attacked in the Kerch Strait, which connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, citing a source who said the ship suffered damage to its engine room. The strike came after another drone strike on Friday badly damaged a Russian warship in the Russian port city of Novorossiysk.
A Russian official also claimed Saturday that a Ukrainian drone was spotted and subsequently destroyed in the waters outside Sevastopol, the Crimean port city home to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.
