Ukraine has struck Novorossiysk, Russia’s main operational hub on the Black Sea, which has become Moscow’s last major naval base in the region after sustained Ukrainian attacks forced much of its fleet from occupied Crimea.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the attack as a “unique operation” and said strikes on the designated targets had been confirmed.
He gave few further details, saying Ukraine had used Palianytsia jet-powered drones, Neptune missiles and unmanned naval systems to target air-defence positions, piers and port infrastructure.
