The Russian Defence Ministry reported that two uncrewed boats had been discovered in the Black Sea: "Fire damage was inflicted in the area of detection, and a set of anti-mine and anti-sabotage measures is being carried out on the external roadstead of Sevastopol Bay."

The Russians stopped the traffic on the Crimean Bridge at 06:36.

Traffic resumed almost an hour later.
