Ukraine Launches Long-Range Strike on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet Base in Novorossiysk

Ukraine says it carried out a major overnight strike on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet base in Novorossiysk, using Palianytsia drone missiles, Neptune missiles, and maritime unmanned systems to hit air defenses, piers, and port infrastructure more than 300 kilometers from the front line. Zelensky called it a unique operation against Russia’s last major Black Sea stronghold, part of Kyiv’s broader long-range campaign against naval facilities and infrastructure behind the front lines.
