The Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a long-range drone attack on Russia's military base in the Caspian Sea. In the attack that took place at the port of Kaspiysk in Dagestan, the drone directly targeted a Russian warship.

Footage shared from the scene clearly shows the drone crashing into the Russian ship after flying low over the port, followed by a large explosion. Civilians at the pier watched the thick smoke rising after the explosion with concern.

Experts emphasize the strategic importance of the attack. The fact that the drone took off from the Ukrainian border and traveled approximately a thousand kilometers to reach its target is significant in demonstrating Ukraine's long-range strike capability.

This attack is one of the important steps taken by Kiev recently. In a surprise operation carried out in August in Russia's Kursk region, it was reported that 717 Russian soldiers were captured. Ukrainian President Zelensky announced that these captives would be used for the exchange of their own soldiers.

On the other hand, the course of the war continues to change. The Kiev administration announced that they clashed with North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region for the first time. This development confirms Western intelligence reports suggesting that Russia is receiving military support from North Korea.

In the nearly three-year war, the parties continue to cooperate on prisoner exchanges. Regular prisoner exchanges have been taking place since February 2022.
