In the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, the Russian occupation forces deployed 12 ships on combat duty. No missile carriers have been spotted beyond bases.

That’s according to the press service of Operational Command South, Ukrinform reports.

The storm intensified in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Missile carriers were brought to their bases at midnight while 12 vessels remain on duty," the report says.

The press service also noted that the enemy pursues pressure tactics targeting the population and infrastructure of Ukraine’s rear regions, attacks front-line territories, and accumulates resources for future attacks.
