Russia carried out an attack on Snake Island in the Black Sea using Tu-22M3 bombers and Kh-32 missiles, confirmed by the Ukrainian Air Force.

Russia launched an attack on Snake Island in the Black Sea, using Tu-22M3 bombers and Kh-32 supersonic missiles. Russian propaganda portals, such as topwar.ru, reported on this incident, which was also confirmed by the Ukrainian Air Force through air alerts issued on social media. Snake Island, although seemingly unattractive, has strategic importance, having a key position in controlling maritime routes in the area.

Since the beginning of the invasion in February 2022, the island has been a major target for Russia, which managed to conquer it but was forced to withdraw later due to the losses suffered. Currently, the Ukrainian army is trying to regain control of the island, installing electronic equipment, but Russia continues to carry out attacks to destroy this equipment and maintain control over the area.
