Ukraine says it sank two Russian boats in the Black Sea with drone strikes, as explosions rang out once again in Russia’s border region of Belgorod
KHARKIV, Ukraine—Ukraine on Monday said it sank two Russian Naval vessels in the Black Sea with drone strikes, as explosions rang out once again in Russia’s border region of Belgorod andUkraine released video footage of what it said were Bayraktar TB-2 armed drones hitting the two Raptor-class patrol boats at 4.51 a.m.
Ukrainian officials said that in recent days they carried out a series of strikes on Russian forward bases in the Izyum area north of Slovyansk, killing senior commanders including a general. While this claim couldn’t be independently confirmed, drone footage released by Ukrainian volunteers working with the military on Monday showed a series of precision strikes on a large grouping of Russian armor south of Izyum.
Incidents have repeatedly occurred in Russia in recent weeks, with explosions destroying Russian ammunition depots, fuel facilities and railway bridges in the border regions of Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk that serve as the logistics bases for Russian forces attacking Ukraine.ALEXANDER ERMOCHENKO/REUTERS
In recent days, two simultaneous fires erupted at an oil depot and a military fuel facility in the Russian city of Bryansk, also close to the Ukraine border. Before that, fuel depots exploded in Belgorod, as a result of what appeared to be a Ukrainian helicopter raid. European Union energy ministers are meeting on Monday to discuss the fallout from that decision. EU members are scrambling to reduce their dependence on Russian gas imports by striking new contracts with alternative suppliers and taking measures to reduce gas consumption at home.
