Russia announced an attack on one of its reconnaissance ships in the Black Sea on May 24. According to the Russian media, the reconnaissance ship of project 18280

“Ivan Khurs” was attacked by three marine drones while passing through the Bosphorus.

It is reported by UNIAN with a reference to the Russian Telegram channel Rybar.

“Today, on May 24, the Russian reconnaissance ship of Project 18280 Ivan Khurs was attacked by three naval drones while passing through the Bosphorus. The attack was successfully repelled, according to initial reports, the ship did not receive any damage,” the message says.

The drone attack allegedly took place at 5.30 am (Minsk time) 40 nautical miles north of the Bosphorus.

“Ivan Khurs” is the first serial communication vessel of project 18280. It is part of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation. The ship's equipment makes it possible to detect radio signals in a wide range of frequencies and determine the location of their source.

As the Charter97.org website reported before, after the news about the attack on the Russian ship, the occupying “authorities” of the Crimea announced the closure of the Crimean bridge. According to the traitor Sergei Aksyonov, the bridge was allegedly blocked due to military exercises in the area.

Footage of smoke near the Crimean bridge appeared on the internet. At the same time, the “authorities” stated that this was connected with the “military exercises”.
