Ukrainian Jet Ski-Powered Drones Target Russian Black Sea Fleet
TL;DR
Russia claims to have thwarted a Ukrainian drone attack on Russian civilian transport ships in the Black Sea, a key trade route for both countries. The Defense Ministry stated that Ukrainian semi-submersible naval drones attempted a "terrorist attack," but were destroyed by Russian patrol boats and warplanes. This incident marks a significant escalation in naval tensions between the two countries, which have been treating ships bound for each other's ports as potential carriers of military cargo since last year.
