On the night of May 25, Russian military forces once again conducted provocative actions in the Black Sea zone, launching a missile strike with Kalibr cruise missiles
According to Ivan Fedorov, the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, these events occurred around 2 a.m., indicating the enemy’s attempt to continue their aggressive tactics against Ukrainian land and sea territory. According to Fedorov, the strike was carried out from the sea, where Russian ships once again violated international maritime law by using cruise missiles capable of striking targets at long distances. This is yet another episode in an ongoing series of missile airstrikes aimed at destabilizing the situation in the region and reducing the defensive capacity of Ukrainian forces. The head of the Zaporizhzhia VA emphasized that in response to this aggression, Ukrainian air defense systems were quickly brought into combat readiness to protect the population and critical regional infrastructure. He added: “The threat of cruise missiles to Zaporizhzhia region and other parts of Ukraine, where air raid alerts are declared, remains high.” At the same time, local and central authorities stress the need to remain vigilant and prepared for potential new provocations from Russia. This nighttime attack from the Black Sea once again highlights the dangerous tactics of the enemy, who continues to employ remote strikes to weaken Ukrainian defenses and create psychological tension among the population. Meanwhile, Ukrainian troops are continuing to strengthen their positions to counter any attacks and to defend their country from further provocations.
