Ukraine's Navy reported on Tuesday that its unmanned surface vessels destroyed an FSB patrol boat in the Black Sea, adding that there were casualties on the Russian vessel. The report, from a single Ukrainian source, has not been independently verified. The strike follows a sustained Ukrainian campaign against Russian naval assets in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, primarily targeting tankers and military vessels. As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, Ukraine has claimed dozens of such strikes, though independent confirmation remains limited. The current announcement does not specify the patrol boat's location or the number of casualties.
