According to TASS on August 5th, the National Hydrographic Survey, a subsidiary of Ukraine's Ministry of Infrastructure, issued a warning announcing a "military threat" to the waters of six Black Sea ports in Russia.
According to the report, the official website of the agency issued a notice stating: "Military threat. The internal and external waters of ports such as Anapa, Novorossiysk, Grenjik, Tuapushe, Sochi, and Taman."
The notice states that the warning will remain valid from August 4th until it is officially cancelled.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that in the early hours of the 4th, Russian ships destroyed two Ukrainian unmanned vessels attempting to attack the Novorossiysk naval base. In addition, in the early morning of the 5th, in the southern part of the Kerch Strait, the Russian oil tanker "Sig" was attacked by the Ukrainian side.
"Motor Xiqi Company's factory was attacked by missiles"
According to Deutsche Presse-Agentur and Agence France Presse on August 5, Ukrainian President Zelensky said that Russia once again attacked Ukraine with "a series of missiles".
According to the report, Zelensky said in his evening speech that air defense alerts were sounded across the country and an attack was launched on the factory of the Masic company in Zaporizhzhia. He did not say whether the factory was damaged.
Madasych is considered the most important manufacturer of aircraft and helicopter engines and gas turbine mechanisms in Ukraine, and is one of the "strategic" enterprises taken over by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense in November last year. The report mentioned that Motasic is one of the enterprises expropriated by the Ukrainian government since the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Zelensky said, "Russia used the 'Dagger' hypersonic missile and the 'Caliber' cruise missile. They attacked the Maersych company near Khmelnytsky in western Ukraine, located about 300 kilometers southwest of Kiev.". The Khmelnytskyi region is hundreds of kilometers away from the eastern front of Ukraine and is often a target of Russian airstrikes. This region is the location of a major air force base in Ukraine.
