British intelligence: Ukraine has successfully struck Russian air defences and resupply vessels with Bayraktar drones

Fighting continues at Zmiinyi Island, also known as Snake Island, with Russia repeatedly trying to reinforce its exposed garrison located there, the UK Defense Ministry wrote on Twitter. 

According to the ministry, Ukraine has successfully struck Russian air defences and resupply vessels with Bayraktar drones: "Russia’s resupply vessels have minimum protection in the western Black Sea, following the Russian Navy’s retreat to Crimea after the loss of the Moskva.”

"Russia’s current efforts to augment its forces on Zmiinyi Island offer Ukraine more opportunities to engage Russian troops and attrit materiel,” the ministry tweeted. "If Russia consolidates its position on Zmiinyi Island with strategic air defence and coastal defence cruise missiles, they could dominate the north-western Black Sea.”
