Ukraine has issued a warning over Russia’s “atypical activity” in the Black Sea.
Speaking during a national broadcast on Thursday, Ukraine’s Southern Command spokesperson Natalia Humeniuk said Russia has deployed 20 ships, including missile carriers, and a large number of units of auxiliary fleet ships in the Black Sea.
The Kyiv Independent said the Russian forces may be searching for the wreckage of a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone, which was intercepted by Russian jets and crashed into the Black Sea on Tuesday.
Russian state media has said Moscow will try to recover the wreckage.
“We are carefully monitoring the naval group in the Black Sea and the actions of the enemy. Atypical activity and number of ship groups were recorded,” Humeniuk said.
“There are currently 20 units in the Black Sea, including four missile carriers, one of them is underwater; the total salvo is 28 missiles that can be equipped for launch.”
