A drone was shot down over the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea

A drone was shot down over the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the Crimean peninsula on Saturday, AFP reported.

This was announced by the British Ministry of Defense in its daily report on the situation in Ukraine.
"This contrasts with increased Russian naval activity in other seas, which is typical for this time of year. The Black Sea Fleet continues to use long-range missiles to support land offensives, but has problems with sea control," the ministry writes.

The UAF destroyed a command post of the coast guard of the Russian fleet in Chernobayevka

The frigate "Admiral Makarov" - one of the newest in the Russian Black Sea Fleet - was hit by Ukrainians near the notorious Snake Island, Ukrainian media reported.

So far, neither army has confirmed or denied the news.

It was reported by the Odessa edition of "Dumskaya" yesterday and spread instantly in the Ukrainian media.

The United States has exchanged intelligence with Ukraine on the location of the Russian missile cruiser "Moskva" (Moscow) before the strike that sank the warship, the Associated Press reported.

A US official said yesterday that Ukraine itself had decided to shoot and sink the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet using its own anti-ship missiles.

The flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet - the missile cruiser "Moskva" (Moscow) has sunk, said the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The military said the cruiser sank while being towed to a port in the Black Sea. The ship lost stability due to damage to the hull caused by an explosion of ammunition and a fire on board on the night of 13 to 14 April.

Russia's Black Sea flagship sank on April 14 after an explosion and fire that Ukraine claimed was a successful missile strike, as the Kremlin accused Kyiv of targeting its citizens in sorties across the border.

It was also announced that its crew was evacuated after the explosion, which Ukraine claims was the result of a missile strike.
Russia's Ministry of Defense announced that the fire on the Moscow missile warship caused an explosion of ammunition, TASS reported.

According to the world media, the forces of the Sixth Fleet are in question which headed to the Black Sea in order to carry out operations with NATO allies and partners. The exercises will also be performed in the Mediterranean Sea.

Ukrainian engineers at the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau presented the anti-ship supersonic missile "Lightning", which, according to its creators, is almost "impossible to bring down," according to Russian news agency Izvestia.
