Russia claims to have fended off a Ukrainian attack on one of its warships in Turkish waters with unmanned vessels, in what is the latest attempted sabotage attack Moscow has blamed on Kyiv.
“Today at 5:30 am (0230 GMT) the armed forces of Ukraine made an unsuccessful attempt to attack the Ivan Khurs ship of the Black Sea Fleet with three unmanned speedboats,” the defence ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
It added that the Russian vessel had been tasked with guarding pipeline infrastructure in Turkish economic waters.
