Striletska Bay in occupied Sevastopol, once a key base for Russian warships in Crimea, is now nearly empty and used primarily for mooring tugboats and small patrol craft, the Atesh partisan group reported on July 8.<\/p>\n

According to the group, Russia<\/a> now uses the bay mainly for maintenance work and rare anti-sabotage defense drills, having pulled most major vessels<\/a> from the area. <\/p>\n

“Recently, the bay has been practically empty… The degradation of the occupation fleet in Sevastopol is becoming increasingly obvious. Striletska Bay, which previously housed a large number of combat vessels, is now idle.” Atesh said.<\/p>\n

The remaining combat units are periodically rotated and redeployed in an apparent effort to avoid detection by Ukrainian reconnaissance.<\/p>\n

“Every object is under control \u2014 no ship will go unnoticed,” Atesh said<\/a>, adding that all ship movements are being tracked and shared with the Ukrainian Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

Sevastopol<\/a> has served as the base for Russia’s Black Sea Fleet since the illegal annexation<\/a> of Crimea in 2014. Repeated Ukrainian attacks using naval drones<\/a>, missiles, and long-range drones have forced the Kremlin to reduce its naval presence in occupied Crimea.<\/p>\n

Ukraine has destroyed several Russian vessels, including the Caesar Kunikov<\/a> landing ship, the Sergei Kotov<\/a> patrol ship, the Ivanovets<\/a> missile corvette, and multiple high-speed landing crafts.<\/p>\n

The shrinking Russian presence in Sevastopol comes as Ukraine steps up drone attacks against other Black Sea Fleet locations. On July 6, drones struck<\/a> the fleet’s facilities in Novorossiysk, Krasnodar Krai, a key port east of Crimea across the Kerch Strait.<\/p>\n
