Ukrainian anti-ship missiles and drones attacked a major Russian naval base on the Black Sea coast overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated.
Ukraine is increasingly using drones developed during the war to attack Russian military ships and oil tankers in the Black Sea.
Ukrainian authorities claim that drone attacks from the air and sea have significantly restricted the movement of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Zelensky claims that, according to Ukrainian intelligence, Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning a new mobilization of several hundred thousand people by the end of the year.
Russian authorities, however, have not announced such a mobilization, and some Russian officials have accused Kyiv of attempting to alarm the Russian public by spreading information about a possible mobilization.
