Ukraine-Russia war latest: Kyiv launches attack on Putin’s Black Sea naval base as 1 killed in Kharkiv strike

Ukraine launched an overnight drone attack on Vladimir Putin ’s Black Sea naval base where Moscow ’s once revered fleet is hiding.

Kyiv fired two sea drones at Novorossiysk, which were shot down by Russian defences , according to the Russian ministry of defence.

Satellites detected large fires in the area of the Novorossiysk port, which is one of Russia ’s largest and serves as a major outlet for crude oil and oil products exports and transit in Russia’s south.

It comes as one person was killed and another four were wounded in Russian attacks in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region, officials said.

Kharkiv regional prosecutors said one person was killed and two wounded in an attack in the village of Borova that also damaged ten homes, stores and an administrative building.

Meanwhile, Volodymyr Zelensky ’s senior aide Andri Yermak said Kyiv was not ready to compromise with Russia and it would never give up any territory seized by Putin’s forces since February 2022.

“We are not ready to go to the compromise for the very important things and values... independence, freedom, democracy, territorial integrity, sovereignty,” he said.
