Once again, the Ukrainians manage to surprise the Russians at sea: what is left of the infamous Black Sea Fleet?
It happened again in the Black Sea near Crimea. Kyiv reports having hit a large Russian landing ship with underwater drones. It would be the Caesar Kunikov. This marks yet another setback for President Putin and his once infamous Russian Black Sea Fleet. Moscow has not yet responded to the news.

'Russian Navy commander replaced after loss of several combat ships'

The commander of the Russian Navy, Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov, has been relieved of his duties. The Russian newspaper Izvestia reports this based on unnamed sources. Yevmenov will be replaced by Admiral Aleksander Moyseev, previously the commander of the Russian Northern Fleet.

The newspaper did not give a reason for the personnel change. Recently, Russia's Black Sea Fleet has lost several combat ships to Ukrainian attacks with missiles and so-called naval drones, unmanned boats loaded with explosives. As a result, part of the Russian naval units have withdrawn from the Crimean peninsula.
