Description: Ukrainian soldiers fired self-propelled howitzers at Russian targets in the Kharkiv region on May 7, 2022. READ MORE: Ukraine's armed forces Saturday released footage said to show a Russian landing ship being destroyed near Snake Island, a small isle under Russian control in the Black Sea. The Ukrainian army said a missile launched from a Ukrainian drone, a Bayraktar TB2, destroyed the Russian warship. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said an armed Bayraktar drone also destroyed a missile defense system on the island, 80 miles south of the Ukrainian port of Odesa. Satellite images taken early Saturday by Planet Labs PBC showed what appeared to be a Serna-class landing ship near Snake Island's northern beach. That corresponds with the video released by the Ukrainian military said to show a drone striking it, engulfing the vessel in flames. The video also claims to show buildings on the island that had been destroyed in a barrage of drone attacks by Ukrainian forces. voanews.com/a/fighting-in-ukraine-likely-to-intensify-this-weekend/6561752.html » Subscribe to VOA News: bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
