俄罗斯声称已经挫败了乌克兰在黑海和克里米亚半岛对海军基地的海上和空中人机袭击。
俄罗斯国防部在Telegram消息应用上表示：“今晚，乌克兰武装部队利用两艘无人驾驶海船，试图对俄罗斯武装部队的诺沃罗西斯克海军基地进行袭击。”该部门还补充说，俄罗斯舰艇在这次首次袭击港口城市的行动中摧毁了这些水上无人机。
然而，在线发布的视频显示，俄罗斯海军舰艇似乎在诺沃罗西斯克周围的水域被拖曳并部分沉没。
一些亲战的Telegram频道声称该船是Olenegorsky Gornyak号，该船被用来运送军队和军事装备到乌克兰被占领的港口。
乌克兰的在线报纸《乌克兰真理》还发布了一段视频，称这是乌克兰安全局的一架水上无人机袭击了Olenegorsky Gornyak号船只。
《乌克兰真理》援引一位未透露姓名的乌克兰安全局消息人士的话说，俄罗斯方面所声称的“挫败袭击”是假的。
同样，路透社援引一位匿名乌克兰情报人士的话称，该船经历了严重破损，无法执行战斗任务。
周五，克里姆林宫拒绝回答记者就Olenegorsky Gornyak号船只所遭受的破坏问题提出的询问。
乌克兰《乌克兰真理》提供的视频显示，乌克兰安全局于2023年8月4日在诺沃罗西斯克湾进行了一次特种行动，造成了大型登陆舰“Оленегорский горняк”受损。
根据乌克兰《乌克兰真理》的信息来源，这艘船在特种行动中受到了损坏。
诺沃罗西斯克是黑海的一个港口，承载着大部分哈萨克斯坦的石油出口通过俄罗斯。
根据国有的俄罗斯国际文传电讯社的报道，周五的无人机袭击导致该港口的运营商里海输油管线联盟暂时停止了该地区的船只运动。
同时，俄罗斯国防部周五表示已击落了吞并克里米亚半岛上空的13架无人机，并指出在这次袭击中没有人员伤亡或损害。
自莫斯科一年多以前发起对乌克兰的入侵以来，克里米亚和俄罗斯的黑海舰队一直是定期被攻击的目标，但在最近几周袭击事件有所增加。
Russia claimed Friday it had thwarted Ukrainian sea and air drone attacks on a naval base in the Black Sea and the Crimean peninsula.
"Tonight, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the use of two unmanned sea boats, attempted an attack on the Novorossiysk naval base of the Russian Armed Forces," the Defense Ministry said on the Telegram messaging app, adding that Russian ships destroyed the seaborne drones in the first such attack on the port city.
Yet video published online showed what appeared to be a partly sunken Russian Navy vessel being towed in the waters around Novorossiysk.
Pro-war Telegram channels claimed the ship was the Olenegorsky Gornyak, which has been used to transport troops and military hardware into occupied Ukrainian ports.
Ukraine’s online newspaper Ukrainska Pravda also published video of what it said was a Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) seaborne drone attacking the Olenegorsky Gornyak.
“The Russians’ claims of a ‘repelled attack’ is fake,” an unnamed SBU source was quoted as saying by Ukrainska Pravda.
Similarly, Reuters, citing an anonymous Ukrainian intelligence source, said the vessel had suffered a “serious breach” that rendered it unable to conduct combat missions.
The Kremlin on Friday declined to answer journalists' questions about the reported damage to the Olenegorsky Gornyak.

The Black Sea port of Novorossiysk hosts a pipeline terminal that carries most of Kazakhstan's oil exports through Russia.
Friday's drone attack prompted the terminal's operator Caspian Pipeline Consortium to temporarily halt the movement of ships in the area, according to the state-run Interfax news agency.
Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry said Friday it had downed 13 drones over the annexed Crimean peninsula, noting that there were no casualties or damage in the attacks.
Both Crimea and Russia's Black Sea Fleet have been regularly targeted since Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine more than a year ago, but attacks have increased in recent weeks.
