As of May 6, Russia keeps six warships in the Black Sea, with no Kalibr cruise missile carriers among them.

That’s according to Operational Command South, Ukrinform reports.

"There are six warships in the Black Sea, while all missile carriers have been brought to their bases. However, a missile threat could arise at any moment, including from the sky, due to enemy activity," reads the report posted on Facebook.

Strikes by enemy aircraft and drones are seen as quite likely both during the day and at night.

A mine-explosive threat remains in place both on land, in particular in the liberated territories, and along the Black Sea coast, in the coastal waters, OC South noted.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the Russian Federation kept five warships on combat duty off the occupied Crimea coast on May 5, including a Kalibr carrier with a total salvo of up to eight missiles.
