Russian Ministry Of Defense Blames Ukraine And Britain For ‘Massive’ Drone Attack On The Crimean Port Of Sevastopol

 

BBC: 'Massive' drone attack on Black Sea Fleet - Russia 

Ukraine has carried out a "massive" drone attack on the Black Sea Fleet in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol, damaging one warship, Russia says. Nine drones were used, a top official said. Ukraine has not commented. 

Without providing evidence, Russia accused British troops of being involved in that attack - and in blowing up gas pipelines last month. 

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) said Russia was "peddling false claims of an epic scale." Saturday's attack comes as Ukrainian troops successfully retake territory occupied by occupying Russians. 

Russia has replied by launching large-scale attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, particularly on the country's energy grid.

I would not be surprised if Moscow uses this attack to suspend its agreement with Kyiv for shipping grain out of Odessa. 

Update: Just in. Moscow has suspended its shipping grain agreement with Kyiv.
