Ukraine Strikes Iranian Weapon Supply Routes in Dagestan, Raising Tensions
Ukrainian forces, potentially utilizing A-22 Flying Fox drones, reportedly struck a naval base in Dagestan, Russia, damaging at least two vessels and possibly several smaller ships. This incident marks the first Ukrainian attack on a naval base in Dagestan, a region crucial for Iranian weapons supply to Russia. The attack, which occurred near a local airport, is significant as it demonstrates Ukraine’s ability to target Russian infrastructure far beyond the frontline and challenges the perceived safety of Iranian supply routes. While Russian authorities claim to have intercepted only one drone, evidence suggests a second drone successfully struck its target, causing a substantial explosion.
