The crew of a Ukrainian combat boat fired a missile at a Russian aircraft near Zmiiny Island.
According to Censor.NET, a fragment of a military engagement in the Black Sea was published on the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine 's social media page.
"A collision between a Russian military aircraft and Ukrainian warships took place in Ukrainian territorial waters near Zmiiny Island, in the area of the so-called 'fighter towers'. The occupiers' aircraft attempted to attack the warships of the Security and Defence Forces of Ukraine but was rebuffed. The enemy propaganda spread a fake about the alleged damage and sinking of the Ukrainian boat. In fact, the Russian missile fell into the water and continued to move towards the Moskva cruiser - no damage was done to the Ukrainian military. In response to the attack, Ukrainian servicemen struck at the occupiers' aircraft. A missile fired from a Ukrainian combat boat damaged the Russian plane, which was forced to immediately leave the scene and fly towards the nearest airfield," the commentary to the video reads.
