Mi-8

Croatia rejects Serbia's accusations of interfering in its internal affairs because of different views on Russia's war against Ukraine.

The Russian pilot Maxim Kuzminov, who brought the stolen Mi-8 helicopter to Ukraine, may have lived in the Spanish district of La Cala (Villajoyosa) for only a few weeks, according to interviews with locals and business representatives who did not recognize him.

The Main Intelligence Directorate confirms that pilot Maxim Kuzminov, who hijacked a Russian helicopter for Ukraine, was found dead in Spain.

Intercepted Russian radio communications confirmed the destruction by Ukrainian intelligence of a large Russian landing ship, the Caesar Kunikov, which was left with only an oily stain.

A Russian ship may have been attacked and damaged or destroyed off the coast of Crimea, judging by video footage and eyewitness reports of a fire, explosion, and machine gun fire in the area.

A Mi-8 helicopter carrying specialists from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations crashed into Lake Onega in northern Karelia, and although its wreckage was recovered, the crew members were not found.
