Quote: “After the destruction of the Novocherkassk landing ship, the enemy blocked the central district of the city of Feodosiia, and increased the checking of locals on the streets.”
Details: The National Resistance Center stated that the Russians were looking for informants who, in their opinion, were monitoring the port.
In addition, the Russians are “trying to prevent leaks about the extent of damage to the port’s infrastructure.”
Background:

- Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, Commander of the Air Force, confirmed that Ukrainian defenders had blown up the large Russian landing ship Novocherkassk in occupied Feodosiia.
- It was revealed later that the Novocherkassk had been destroyed by cruise missiles launched from tactical aircraft belonging to the Ukrainian Air Force.
- The Russian Ministry of Defence reported that the Novocherkassk had been damaged in Feodosiia that night “while repelling an attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces using air-launched guided missiles”.
- According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, “during the anti-aircraft battle, two Ukrainian Su-24 fighters that were launching missiles were destroyed by air defence systems.” The Ukrainian Air Force denied this.
