In temporarily occupied Crimea, Russians are building a new line of defense near the Kerch shipyard, which constructs military ships for the Russian Navy.

This was reported by the Crimean Wind Telegram channel, according to Ukrinform.

"Several fortifications have appeared on the shore of the Zaliv Shipyard, housing firing points with anti-aircraft machine guns, as well as surveillance equipment. The points are made of concrete, supplemented with wooden canopies and booths to protect against rain and wind," the report says.

As reported by Ukrinform, in January, the occupiers blocked the bay with barges to protect it from unmanned surface vehicles.

The Zaliv Shipyard constructs military vessels for the Russian Navy. Last summer, they began building the hull of a new Russian universal landing ship, Ivan Rogov, Project 23900.
