Ukraine: 159 Russian ships hit in July

The Ukrainian drone forces, under the command of Robert Browdi, reported hitting twelve additional Russian ships in the Black Sea during continued drone attacks. These targets included nine freighters, two tankers, and a tugboat, bringing the total number of ships struck in July in the Azov Sea and Black Sea to 159. The SBU, Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency, confirmed an attack using sea drones targeting two tankers—'Louise 1' and 'Banda'—belonging to Russia's 'Shadow Fleet' in the Black Sea. According to Ukrainian claims, these vessels were transporting Russian crude oil and are under Ukrainian sanctions. The Ukrainian military also reported attacks on Russian ships in the Azov Sea, though these reports cannot currently be independently verified.
