Russian forces continue to operate actively in the airspace over the waters of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.

The spokesperson for the Ukrainian Navy, Dmytro Pletenchuk, stated this during a TV broadcast, according to a correspondent from Ukrinform.

According to the spokesperson, the security situation at sea has not significantly changed – the enemy is not deploying its ships into the waters of either the Black Sea or the Sea of Azov. At the same time, it continues to maintain activity in the airspace.

"In the military, this is often called a 'zoo,' because you can see representatives of virtually all types – from helicopters to operational-tactical aviation, including all types of unmanned aerial vehicles available to the Russians. In particular, these include operational-tactical UAVs capable of carrying weapons, such as 'Orion' and 'Forpost.' So they maintain their presence," Pletenchuk said.

He also noted that recently no ballistic missile launches from the territory of temporarily occupied Crimea in this direction have been recorded.

As reported earlier, in the Odesa region, port, energy, and industrial infrastructure were damaged as a result of a Russian nighttime attack.
