Ukrainian drones conducted a targeted attack on the maritime port of Berdiansk in southern Ukraine overnight on 31 October, according to Vladimir Rogov, a Russian-appointed member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation.
Rogov reported that at least six drones targeted the port, though he did not provide details about the attack’s consequences. As a result of the incident, the occupation authorities announced the closure of schools, kindergartens, and other public facilities on 31 October.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported early on 31 October that they had intercepted and destroyed 21 Ukrainian drones over six Russian regions and the Black Sea area.
At the time of publication, Ukrainian officials had not commented on the alleged attack, and the outcome remained uncertain.
On 28 October, sources from Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate reported a successful sabotage operation in Berdiansk, where resistance forces successfully destroyed a railway bridge in the occupied city.
