The Russian warship was attacked using an «experimental» drone, according to Ukrainian media.
Ukraine reportedly struck a Russian missile ship in the Black Sea with an «experimental drone,» forcing the Russian military to tow it away for repairs, according to Ukrainian authorities.
Ukraine’s drone attack comes amid its latest counteroffensive effort, in which its forces are seeking to retake key occupied territory taken by Moscow since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the invasion on February 22, 2022. Although Russian military leadership hoped for a quick takeover of its Eastern European neighbor, Ukraine’s stronger-than-expected defense effort, bolstered by Western aid and coupled with challenges within Moscow’s military, has held off substantial Russian gains for roughly a year.
Kyiv has claimed to have liberated roughly a dozen Russian-occupied villages in the latest counteroffensive, which was launched around June 4, though some reports have indicated the effort has gone slower than military officials hoped.
