Today, at around 1.30 a.m. Moscow time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine unsuccessfully attempted to attack the Black Sea Fleet's ship Priazovye, which is carrying out control and security tasks along the routes of the Turkish Stream and the Blue Stream gas pipelines in the southeastern part of the Black Sea, with six unmanned speedboats.
In the course of repulsing the attack, all the boats were destroyed by Russian ship's regular weapons 300 kilometres southeast of Sevastopol.
There were no casualties. The ship was not damaged.
During this period, as during previous similar attacks, the United States Air Force's RQ-4B Global Hawk strategic reconnaissance drone conducted reconnaissance in the airspace of the central Black Sea.
The Black Sea Fleet's Priazovye ship continues to carry out the assigned tasks.
