Two tankers of Russia's shadow fleet hit by Ukraine's Security Service maritime drones - Ukrainska Pravda source

The blowing up of two tankers in Russia's shadow fleet has been carried out as a special operation by the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU).

Source: Ukrainska Pravda sources in the SSU

Details: Sources say that SSU Sea Baby maritime drones struck two sanctioned oil tankers, Kairo and Virat, in the Black Sea. Both vessels are part of Russia's shadow fleet.

Quote: "This was a joint operation by the SSU's 13th Main Directorate of military counterintelligence and the Ukrainian Navy. Upgraded Sea Baby maritime drones were successfully used against the vessels. They can travel long distances and are equipped with reinforced warheads."
