Ukrainian drone sank Russian reconnaissance ship
On August 28, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the reconnaissance ship named "Simferopol," belonging to the Ukrainian naval forces, was sunk as a result of a drone strike. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The attack was soon confirmed by the Ukrainian naval forces as well. This marks the first successful attempt by the Russian army to destroy an enemy ship using an unmanned boat.

According to information, the "Dumska" publication wrote that the attack took place around midnight. At that time, the "Simferopol" was moving in the lower part of the Danube River.

As a result of the strike, a large hole was made on the ship's side, causing the ship to capsize and sink. According to Dmitry Pletonchuk, an official representative of the Ukrainian naval forces, some crew members are currently listed as missing.

One person was killed, and several other military personnel were reported injured. This incident was noted as the first official case of effective use of sea drones by Russia against Ukrainian ships.

The Ministry of Defense also released a video of the attack, presenting it to the wider public. The "Ribar" Telegram channel noted that the drone traveled approximately 25 kilometers along the Danube channel before striking.

The channel's authors emphasized that it is not unlikely that Ukrainian observers mistook the drone for their own equipment. Thus, the sinking of the "Simferopol" indicates that naval clashes between Ukraine and Russia have entered a new phase.

This event may have serious repercussions not only in the military field but also in geopolitical processes.
