Ukraine sinks two Russian landing boats in Crimea

Ukrainian naval drones attacked and sank two small Russian landing boats in Crimea, Ukraine’s military intelligence agency said on Friday.
Reuters could not independently verify the report. There was no immediate comment by Russia, which seized and annexed the Crimea peninsula from Ukraine in 2014 and whose Black Sea Fleet is headquartered in the Crimean city of Sevastopol.
An initial report from military intelligence said the two small, amphibious Russian ships had been hit overnight.
An evening update said the attack had been carried out by naval drones on the two vessels in Vuzka Bay, on the west side of the peninsula. It identified one landing craft as an Akula class vessel, the other a Serna class.
“The results of intelligence conducted on 10th November 2023 near Vuzka Bay in temporarily occupied Crimea show that after an attack by naval drones, two small Russian landing ships have been destroyed,” the report said.
