Currently, there are five enemy warships in the Black Sea, but no missile carriers due to the storm, although the situation may change at any time.

Natalia Humeniuk, the head of the Joint Press Center of the Operational Command South, said this on the air of the nationwide telethon "United News," Ukrinform reports.

"Due to the deteriorating weather, the enemy's missile carriers have been brought back to their basing points, but the storm at sea is not so critical as to prevent the missile carriers from returning to duty. Therefore, it is likely that the maneuvers will continue, and we are monitoring the situation. Currently, there are five warships in the Black Sea, but there are no missile carriers among them," said Humeniuk.

"There is a rotation of missile carriers and approaches to the launch borders, strategic aviation and kamikaze drones are used throughout the day. This tactic is already clear, we are ready for such waves of attacks using various methods of destruction to deplete the Defense Forces," said Humeniuk.
