Ukrainian Drones Strike Russian Fleet’s Caspian Hideout

“Kyiv has attacked Russian vessels in the Caspian Sea, hundreds of miles from Ukrainian territory, according to a Ukrainian and Russian official. ‘A port was attacked in Kaspiysk, Russia,’ said Andriy Kovalenko, the head of countering disinformation under Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, in a post to messaging app Telegram early Wednesday. The Russian city of Kaspiysk sits on the Caspian Sea, part of the southwestern republic of Dagestan. Dagestan’s regional governor, Sergey Melikov, said on Wednesday that Russian air defenses had ‘destroyed an unmanned aerial vehicle over Kaspiysk,’ and authorities were investigating the incident. But Russia’s Defense Ministry did not report any Ukrainian drones over the Dagestan region overnight. Several Ukrainian media outlets reported that at least two missile ships, the Dagestan and the Tatarstan, were damaged.” (11/06/24)
