Footage of the attacks on maritime targets has brought the Black Sea dimension of the war back to the agenda.

The statement also noted that a total of 116 ships, allegedly belonging to the same fleet, have been attacked in the Sea of Azov since July 6. In his latest post, Brovdi also included footage he claimed was of the attacks.

There has been no official statement from Russian authorities regarding the attacks in question. The claims made by the parties regarding the conflict zone have not been verified by independent sources.
