In light of the recent developments, Moscow announced on Friday morning that the Russian forces conducted an exercise in the northwest of the Black Sea, during which they launched anti-ship missiles to hit a target at sea.
The ministry said in a statement that ships belonging to the Russian Black Sea Fleet fired anti-ship cruise missiles at a boat that identified a target in the combat training area in the northwestern part of the Black Sea.
She added that this is the same area that Moscow considered, since Thursday, ships heading to Ukraine to have “potential military boats.”
