Kyiv said it has destroyed another Russian warship near the Black Sea’s Snake Island, where Ukrainian forces were awarded for heroism after rebuffing Russian demands to surrender.
Ukraine’s defence ministry said in a statement that an armed drone had destroyed a Serna-class landing craft and a missile defence system at the small island under Russian control.
It released grainy overhead footage on social media showing in black and white what appeared to be an explosion over a light craft with debris spilling outwards.
“The traditional parade of the Russian Black Sea fleet on May 9 this year will be held near Snake Island – at the bottom of the sea,” the defence ministry added.
