Ukraine Ferry Strike Kills 1, Russia Says “50 Foreign Instructors” Killed in Iskander Missile Strike – News18

One person has been killed and others wounded in a Ukrainian drone attack on a ferry at port in southern Russia, the regional governor has said. Krasnodar governor Veniamin Kondratyev said the ferry had caught fire at Port Kavkaz but there was no risk of it spreading. The port is in the Kerch Strait that separates Russia from Crimea and sits 12 kilometres from the Kerch Bridge. Meanwhile, Russian forces are conducting drills involving Yars mobile nuclear missile launchers, Russian media reported on July 23, 2024. Missile launcher crews in the Volga river basin were set to move over 100 kilometres and practice camouflage and deployment, Interfax reported. The drills follow similar exercises in early July in at least two different regions. They are also taking place less than two months after Russia held tactical nuclear weapons deployment exercises alongside ally Belarus.
