Details: Brovdi says 13 vessels have been hit in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov over the past 48 hours, adding that this is only a fraction of what is to come.

The Unmanned Systems Forces commander also confirmed new strikes on logistics facilities belonging to Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer.

He said that the purple colour associated with the "wild berry" is taking on a different meaning in Russia, referring to a combination of the red, blue and white colours of the Russian flag.

Brovdi used a similar reference to "wild berries" on 18 and 20 July when commenting on attacks on the company's facilities.

Background: Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces hit seven Russian shadow fleet vessels, seven energy facilities in the occupied territories, six Russian air defence assets and two logistics facilities on the night of 19-20 July.
