Ukrainian drones strike multiple targets across the Black Sea
Ukrainian forces have carried out multiple long-range drone strikes on Russian naval, air and infrastructure targets across the Black Sea region.
The latest wave of attacks reportedly hit several targets, including a Russian Border Guard Project 10410 patrol vessel, a Be-200 amphibious aircraft, a Ka-27 helicopter, at least four cargo cranes at the port of Berdyansk, a naval communications tower in Crimea and a cargo ship in Berdyansk that Ukraine claims was carrying ammunition.
According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the operations also targeted elements of the Russian oil industry, including facilities and vessels, at distances of nearly 1,000 kilometers from the line of contact.
These actions were described as a response to ongoing Russian activities, with indications that both the range and scale of such operations will continue to expand.

Separately, a Svetlyak-class patrol ship was reportedly struck in the Caspian Sea, roughly 800 nautical miles east of Ukraine. Ukrainian drones also struck targets near Moscow, one of Russia’s most heavily defended regions. Videos from the area show drones flying overhead without interception, followed by explosions at fuel storage and refinery facilities.
