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.
