-Russian forces downed eight Ukraine-launched drones over the Black Sea near Crimea and destroyed three speedboats in the sea's waters early on Sunday, the defence ministry said. The U.S.-made military speedboats carrying Ukrainian military personnel were destroyed northeast of Snake Island, the ministry said in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.Reuters could not verify the reports, which followed similar reports in recent weeks. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine.
Tiny Snake Island, a symbol of Ukraine's defiance of its larger neighbour's invasion, is an outpost in the northwest of the Black Sea, where tensions have escalated since Russia last month pulled out of a deal that had enabled Ukraine to ship grain from its southern ports despite the war. In a move broadly condemned by Kyiv's allies, Russia annexed the peninsula of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, eight years before its full invasion of Ukraine.
