Ukraine claimed to have destroyed the “Caesar Kunikov” Russian landing ship in the Black Sea, a critical area for Ukrainian exports. The military said forces and military intelligence units were responsible for the destruction, with footage showing a large ball of smoke and flames. Moscow reported downing six Ukrainian drones over the strategic body of water, while Ukraine launched attacks on a third of Russia’s Black Sea warships since the invasion began. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, along with military intelligence units, destroyed the Russian ship near Alupka on February 14, 2024. The ship was upgraded to a submarine.
