Russian forces continue to keep seven warships armed with Kalibr cruise missiles in the Black Sea.

The Ukrainian Navy said this in a Facebook post, Ukrinform reports.

"In the Black Sea, the enemy continues to keep seven carriers of Kalibr operational-tactical missiles in readiness for missile strikes and continues to control maritime communications in the Sea of Azov," the report reads.

Illegally controlling the Sea of Azov and declaring it closed to civilian shipping, Russia continues to ensure the movement of civilian vessels through the Sea of Azov in its interests. Vessels are moving with their automatic identification system (AIS) turned off.
