This was reported by the Operational Command South. 

"The threat of air and missile strikes remains relevant. The enemy tests not only our strength, but also our spirit. Do not lose vigilance and endurance, confidently and clearly take safety measures in response to alarms, be conscious and wise, do not spread even positive information, in particular about our victories, if they are not declared by the military. In the conditions of a hybrid war, even such information can become a weapon directed against your own. Trust only reliable sources of information," the Operational Command South appealed to Ukrainians.

The Russian naval group in the Black Sea consists of 14 ships and boats that maneuver in a missile-safe area along the southern coast of the Crimean peninsula.

At once, 4 surface and 1 underwater missile carriers keep 36 Kalibr cruise missiles on standby. In the evening report, the Operational Command South reported that the Russians had 28 units.

Also, 4 large amphibious ships are on duty.
