Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the operation, stating that Ukrainian forces deployed a combination of long-range drones and weapons to strike Russian fleet vessels in the bay area. The vessels reportedly targeted include the Admiral Essen and Admiral Makarov frigates, a large landing ship, a corvette, and additional vessels. Grain export terminals at the port were also struck during the strike. The extent of damage to the vessels and terminals remains unknown. Russia's agriculture ministry announced measures to redirect cargo flows to ports in the Baltic and Caspian Seas, as well as land routes, citing current logistical constraints but did not acknowledge the attack in the statement. | |||||
