A sea drone attack targeted Russia's SIG tanker located close to Crimea, on Saturday, and damaged its engine room, according to Russia's Federal Agency for Marine and River Transport. 

The agency stated that "the SIG tanker ... received a hole in the engine room near the waterline on the starboard side, preliminarily as a result of a sea drone attack," however, it also underscored that there were no casualties.

Savchuk further revealed that Ukraine, in its failed attempts, lost "up to 90 militants, and an infantry fighting vehicle, two armored vehicles and two mortars were destroyed," reaffirming that the "artillery fire and strikes by the army aviation of the Center Group foiled attack."
