Enemy struck with ballistic missiles from Crimea. Ships are not being deployed to Black Sea for combat duty, - Pletenchuk
On the night of February 26, Russia attacked Ukraine with ballistic and hypersonic missiles from Crimea.
According to Censor.NET, this was announced on television by Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk.
"From the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea, the enemy used both ballistic weapons and hypersonic missiles, which once again confirms that the Russians are using the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea as a springboard for strikes on the territory of Ukraine," Pletenchuk said.
No enemy warships have been detected in the waters of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
Enemy bases are guarded by Raptor or Grachonok-class boats. As of this morning, no enemy warships have been spotted in the waters of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. There have been no launches from sea-based carriers either.
"As for large units, we can already say that this month they were used once when they were taken out to sea. In total, there have been three cases of shipboard composition use since the beginning of the year," Pletenchuk said.
