Amidst Ukraine’s ongoing attacks on Crimea, Russia’s Defence Ministry shared information about targeting the ‘Izmail River Port’ built on the Danube River.

Moreover, the anti-Russian counter-offensive is not achieving much success even though Ukraine appears to be increasing the intensity of attacks on Russian territory. Ukraine has continuously targeted the Russian border region, Crimea, and the capital, Moscow, for the past few months. It includes terrorist attacks as well as drone attacks and missile attacks. On Saturday, information was coming to light about a major explosion at a Russian base in Crimea province. After this, Russia foiled an attempt to launch a drone attack on Crimea province on Sunday. Later, Ukraine provided information about capturing Russian oil and gas platforms like ‘Boyko Tower’ in the Black Sea region.

On Tuesday night, Ukraine dealt a major blow by targeting Russia’s naval base. Ukraine targeted the ‘Black Sea Fleet’ located in Sevastopol, Crimea.

Ukraine’s attack on Russia’s naval base in Crimea, launched a few days after that, is noteworthy. This new attack by Ukraine is increasing Russia’s concern. Anger is being expressed over this attack within Russia, and military bloggers have also expressed their displeasure.
