Attack in high-security area. Ukraine used drones to target a ferry in a port in the Kerch Strait, which separates Russia from Crimea, Russian regional authorities announced on Tuesday, July 23. One person died and four others were injured. Two are in serious condition and have been hospitalized. The General Staff of the Ukrainian army said for its part that its navy “had inflicted significant damage on the enemy cargo ship ‘Slavianin'”Who “was used to transport military goods.”
According to TASS, aerial drones struck 12 km from the Crimean Bridge, a Russian structure often targeted by Ukraine. The ship was in the port of Kavkaz, where cargo also passes. The Crimean Bridge was also attacked by Ukrainian naval drones in July 2023, causing significant damage and killing two civilians.
While this bridge was widely used at the beginning of the conflict by the Russian army to transport equipment to soldiers fighting in Ukraine, the threats to this infrastructure have pushed the authorities to develop other logistics channels. In difficulty on the front, Ukraine has had many successes in the Black Sea, repeatedly striking Russian ports or ships and notably sinking the cruiser in April 2022 Moscow.
