Details
At the same time, it is noted that there are 3 enemy ships in the Mediterranean Sea, 1 of which is a carrier of Kalibr cruise missiles with a total salvo of up to 8 missiles.
During the day, in the interests of the Russian Federation, the Kerch Strait was crossed: to the Black Sea - 5 ships, 3 of which continued to move in the direction of the Bosporus Strait; to the Sea of Azov - 6 ships, 2 of which moved from the Bosporus Strait
The Ukrainian Navy emphasizes that the aggressor country continues to ignore international maritime norms, in particular, the requirements of the SOLAS Convention of 1974, by turning off automatic identification systems on ships. This creates a threat to navigation safety and violates the principles of open navigation.
Remind
The representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Yevhen Yerin, stated that the Black Sea is no longer safe for Russians. The Defense Forces continue to improve Magura drones, making them even more effective.
