An underwater drone attack in Sevastopol reportedly damaged a Russian minesweeper and a dam on Oct. 29. Russia accused Ukraine of sending nine drones to the port city. Ukraine hasn't confirmed its involvement.

Russian President Vladimir Putin then said it was "partly response" to the Sevastopol attack.
Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.
We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
