| 2023-09-14 |
| [WARZONE] A Ukrainian attack overnight on the port of Sevastopol, home to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in Russian-occupied Crimea, struck a Russian submarine and a landing ship, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. Videos and photos showed the port ablaze still this morning, after what the Russian defense ministry described as an attack using cruise missiles and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs, or drone boats). Reuters reports that the Ukrainian military has said that its forces were responsible for hitting naval targets and port infrastructure in Sevastopol. |

| #8 Per the article the sub hit by the attack is a Kilo class diesel electric. I don't believe the Russians (or Soviet Union) ever deployed nuclear powered submarines to the Black Sea |

| #5 #4 Could a drone strike create a sympathetic detonation? Conventional explosives, yes. It will not cause a nuclear detonation of the reactor core. Wrong type of fissile material.
