π·πΊπΊπ¦ Early in the morning, two Ukrainian naval drones tried to strike at the coastal bay in Sevastopol.
According to the governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, one was destroyed, and the second exploded spontaneously. At the moment, all drones are destroyed. The Sevastopol Bay was blocked for the movement of ships.
π»In this case, the attack by naval drones is more like assessing the state of the defense of the Black Sea Fleet before the announced offensive, which should happen to please the West, regardless of the readiness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for this.
At the same time, at the beginning or right before the resumption of hostilities, one should expect a massive launch of both unmanned aerial vehicles and marine vehicles, as well as strikes from the Grom-2 OTRS, the geography of which has expanded.
Today's attempt is unlikely to be the only one. The closer the start of the offensive is, the more actively the Armed Forces of Ukraine will act to probe the defense of the Crimea and stress the local population.
