Ukrainian Forces Assert Control in Russian-Occupied Crimea
Ukrainian forces conducted a raid in Crimea, planting a flag and engaging in combat with Russian forces, resulting in casualties for the Russians. The raid comes amidst increased Ukrainian strikes on the land, which Russia claims it annexed in 2014. Ukrainian naval forces have also developed a new breed of underwater explosive drone, known as Marichka, which is expected to be used in suicide operations against the Russian Black Sea Fleet assets and critical Russian infrastructures.
