Ukraine strikes Russian warships in Crimea

Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) conducted a major strike on Russian naval assets in occupied Crimea, targeting the Ropucha-class landing ships Yamal (BDK-67) and Azov (BDK-54). The operation served as an ideal proving ground for Ukraine's Firepoint drones, which unlike finite Western-supplied Storm Shadow missiles are being produced at scale. Both landing ships were already largely out of action prior to the strike, but the attack demonstrated Ukraine's growing indigenous drone capabilities. The SBU continues to target Russian Black Sea Fleet assets as part of its asymmetric warfare strategy.
