The Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out a unique operation to strike a naval base in Novorossiysk using Palianytsia jet drones, Neptune missiles, and unmanned surface vehicles.
According to Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this on Facebook.
“Last night, Ukraine’s Defense Forces carried out a unique operation targeting the naval base in Novorossiysk – the last major stronghold of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea, more than 300 kilometers from the front line. Our Palianytsia jet-powered drones, Neptune missiles, and unmanned naval systems successfully struck the designated targets. Hits on air defense positions, piers, and seaport infrastructure have been confirmed,” he wrote.
He expressed gratitude to the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and intelligence agencies for their precision and successful results. The president emphasized that the Russian fleet and all the infrastructure supporting it will not be safe as long as Russian aggression continues.
“The war must be stopped, and all reasonable proposals for diplomacy are on the table,” Zelensky emphasized.
