In Russia-occupied Crimea, the Moscow-appointed head of the city of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev, said that Russian defenses downed four aerial drones attacking the city and sank two uncrewed boats near the shore.

A Ukrainian sea drone has destroyed a Russian helicopter off the coast of Crimea for the first time. Footage of the attack shared by HUR, Kyiv’s military intelligence, showed the drone bobbing on the seas as the aircraft manoeuvred in the skies above. Plumes of water splashed up next to the Magura V5 drone as Russian fire hit the sea around it.

Russia launched more than 40 attack drones across the Azov Sea into eastern and central Ukraine overnight, damaging houses in Kharkiv and Odessa, the Ukrainian military said.
