First satellite images show aftermath of “drone attack” on russia’s fleet

The first satellite photos of the bay of Sevastopol in the occupied Crimea were published after the alleged drone attack on a ship of the Black Sea fleet of the russian federation on October 29.

The military portal Militarnyi reports, referring to OSINT analyst Benjamin Pittet.

The publication notes that the photos were taken on November 1 at 5:35 a.m. and 11:06 a.m.

The satellite recorded the Admiral Grigorovich class ship in tow in the open sea. In 5 hours, it ended up near the mooring wall of Streletska Bay in Sevastopol.

According to Militarnyi, the movement of the frigate Admiral Makarov may be recorded in the photo.

The nature of the probable damage from the drone attack cannot be determined from the photo.

On the morning of October 29, a "drone attack" was announced in occupied Sevastopol. It was allegedly "repelled" by ships of the Black Sea Fleet.

The South operational command reacted to russia's accusations and assumed that the occupied Sevastopol was attacked not by Ukrainian UAVs, as the russians noted, but by combat mosquitoes.

The russian defense ministry said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces allegedly attacked occupied Sevastopol with drones at 4 a.m. on October 29. The russian defense ministry confirmed the damage to the sea minesweeper Ivan Golubets.

The russian defense ministry stated that the "attack" on Sevastopol was prepared under the leadership of members of the British Navy. They are allegedly in Ochakiv, Ukraine.

Ukraine's defense forces of the south assume that the reason for Saturday's explosions in the occupied Sevastopol could be the failed launches of air defense missiles by the russian invaders.
