New Delhi, October 29: Russia has accused Britain of “involvement” in a botched drone strike in Crimea.
According to Russia’s Defense Ministry, “specialists” from the United Kingdom helped with “training” and “supervision” for Ukraine’s failed attack.
“The Kyiv regime carried out a terrorist attack against the ships of the Black Sea Fleet and civilian ships that were on the outer and inner roads of the Sevastopol base. The attack involved nine unmanned aerial vehicles and seven autonomous maritime drones,” according to a statement issued by Russia’s Defense Ministry.
“The preparation of this terrorist act and the training of military personnel of 73rd Marine Special Operations Centre were carried out under the supervision of British specialists,” it said. Britain has yet to respond to the allegations.
The Russian army claimed to have “destroyed” nine aerial drones and seven maritime drones in an early Saturday attack on the port.
