As a result of strikes by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on unmanned boats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the Black Sea, the vessels were completely destroyed. Footage of the combat work of Russian fighters is published by Izvestia on July 17.

Earlier in the day, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that during the week, the Russian Armed Forces struck 24 naval vessels used in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including 14 bulk carriers. Three sea ferries, two container ships, a tanker, a tractor vessel, a floating dock and two backyards were also hit.
