13 Russian ships in Black Sea, including missile carrier with eight Kalibr missiles

Natalia Humeniuk, head of the Joint Press Center of the Southern Defense Forces of Ukraine, said this at a briefing at the Ukraine-Union Media Center, according to Ukrinform.

"The ship grouping has deployed 13 units in total, and one missile carrier is now on duty. In addition, the enemy conducted a rotation - the missile carrier that fired at night has returned to its basing point, and another similar surface carrier is on duty, armed with eight Kalibr missiles. And even in this case, we assess the missile threat as extremely high, because we observe the activity of tactical aviation, and usage of coastal land-based missile systems that the enemy uses to fire Onyx missiles at the Odesa region," noted Humeniuk.

As reported, Russians have been striking the Odesa region for the fourth night in a row. Also this afternoon, the enemy attacked the Odesa region, firing seven missiles of various classes at an infrastructure facility in the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi district.

On July 20, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that since the beginning of this week, Russian troops have fired nearly 70 missiles of various types and 90 attack drones into Ukraine, the southern regions being the most affected by the attacks.
