Ukraine Says Sea Drones Damaged Russian Warship in Black Sea

HeadlineAug 04, 2023

Ukraine’s Navy says it has successfully used a pair of “sea drones” to strike a Russian warship in the Black Sea. Grainy video shared on social media by Ukrainian officials appears to show one of the uncrewed vessels rapidly approaching an amphibious Russian landing ship before the feed cuts out. Ukraine says about 100 Russian sailors were aboard the warship when it was struck by high explosives and that the ship was later seen listing to one side as it was towed back to port. Russia’s Defense Ministry claims it thwarted the overnight attack.
