Ukraine Strikes Russian Naval Base | Roanoke News

Ukraine unleashed a devastating nighttime strike on Russia’s Novorossiysk naval base, deploying anti-ship missiles, jet drones, and sea drones in what President Zelenskyy called a “unique” operation aimed at crippling Russia’s Black Sea fleet. The attack targeted air defenses and piers, with Russia claiming to have shot down over 500 drones — but the damage was real: an eight-year-old child died in Novorossiysk, another person perished in Temryuk, and twelve others were wounded as drone debris rained down on homes and factories. Meanwhile, Russia retaliated fiercely, launching more than 500 drones and missiles at Ukraine overnight, destroying a shopping mall in Zaporizhzhia and killing two in Kherson. As both sides escalate their drone warfare, the conflict grows more brutal and unpredictable, with civilians caught in the crossfire.
