Ukraine Sinks Russian Warships in Black Sea

Ukraine's military claims to have used naval drones to sink a Russian landing ship, the Caesar Kunikov, in the Black Sea near the Crimean Peninsula. The Russian military has not confirmed the sinking, but several Russian military bloggers acknowledged the attack. This would mark the second reported sinking of a Russian vessel by Ukrainian forces in two weeks. The use of unmanned weapons systems has become a significant aspect of the conflict, with Ukraine's strikes on Russian aircraft and ships helping to push Moscow's naval forces back from the coast. Additionally, an overnight Russian attack on the town of Selydove in eastern Ukraine resulted in civilian casualties, including the deaths of a child and a pregnant woman.
