Russia's defence ministry said early on Friday that it had thwarted overnight Ukrainian attacks on a naval base in the Black Sea and the Crimean peninsula.

"Tonight, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the use of two unmanned sea boats, attempted an attack on the Novorossiysk naval base of the Russian Armed Forces," the ministry said on Telegram.

Russia's navy carried out a live fire "exercise" in the Black Sea, Moscow's defence ministry said Friday, days after the Kremlin declared it would consider ships travelling to Ukraine through the waterway potential military targets.

Let us remind you that the commander of the submarine, 42-year-old captain 2nd rank Stanislav Ruzhitsky, was liquidated on the territory of Russia, in the city of Krasnodar. He was ambushed while jogging, according to the latest details released today.

He added that the sunken Russian flagship will one day become a popular spot for divers.
"One year ago, the naval forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine changed history. The missile cruiser Moscow, the 'Russian warship' flagship of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, was hit by a well-aimed strike from a Ukrainian Neptune missile and sank the next day," said Reznikov.

As the governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev, announced on his Telegram channel, a total of three drones that tried to enter the bay were destroyed and the warships were not destroyed.
"Our sailors shot at them with small arms. Air defense was also working," wrote the governor of Sevastopol, where the main base of the Black Sea Fleet is located.

Military-political expert Yakov Kedmi thinks that these maneuvers are related to a special military operation in Ukraine.
At the beginning of this year, analysts of the French monitoring service "Naval News" reported that all the ships of the Black Sea Fleet had gone to sea.

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.

As it was announced, he died after the Ukrainian missile "Neptune" hit that Russian flagship.
Just to recall, the Russian missile warship "Moscow" sank due to the Ukrainian attack.
It is the largest warship sunk in the last 40 years.

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.
