The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Friday that its navy has neutralized 23 Ukrainian naval drones in the Black Sea over the past week. The ministry shared a video demonstrating the destruction of incoming unmanned boats through gunfire and Lancet loitering munitions. Ukraine deployed autonomous surface vehicles alongside UAVs during a large-scale drone attack on coastal cities Novorossiysk and Tuapse in Russia’s Krasnodar Region on Wednesday, resulting in two deaths and 14 injuries. The threat prompted the evacuation of tourists from 180 beaches in Sochi.
