Ukraine Destroys Russian Warships in Black Sea Conflict

Ukraine's armed forces claim to have critically damaged a large Russian warship off occupied Crimea using naval drones, as its new military chief toured the front lines and described the situation as "complex." The attack targeted the Tsezar Kunikov landing ship in Ukrainian territorial waters near Alupka, with videos showing a column of smoke over the sea and helicopters flying over the water. Russia and Ukraine continue to exchange cross-border air strikes, with Russia launching missile attacks on a town in eastern Ukraine and claiming to have destroyed nine Ukraine-launched drones. The use of air strikes has increased as the front line has become bogged down, while fierce fighting continues in the country's east.
