According to Reuters and Ukrainian military officials, Ukrainian forces struck 11 Russian vessels overnight in the Azov Sea near Crimea, including 5 tankers. The overnight strikes brought the total number of Russian ships damaged in the past 9 days to 116, according to the Ukrainian drone command.
In response, Russia conducted air strikes using FAB-3000 glide bombs, each weighing approximately 3 tons, targeting Ukrainian military positions near Donetsk. Ukrainian naval forces also destroyed the FSB-affiliated border guard ship Izumrud off Novorossiysk using sea drones.
