That’s according to Natalia Humeniuk, head of the joint press center of Operational Command South, who spoke at the national telethon, reports Ukrinform.

"As of now, a surface missile carrier has been deployed in the Black Sea, which is headed in the direction of the launch zone," she informed.

Humeniuk added that the frigate in question is believed to be carrying eight Kalibr missiles, “therefore, the missile threat level has been raised to ‘high.’”
