Russia has deployed a "Kalibr" missile carrier in the Black Sea, raising concerns about potential missile strikes.

In the Black Sea on Monday morning, February 3, two ships have been recorded that Russia has deployed for combat duty. Among them is one carrier of Kalibr cruise missiles.

This information was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing data from the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The aggressor's missile carrier, which is currently in the Black Sea, is capable of launching up to 4 Kalibr missiles in a single salvo if used in combat.

At the same time, in the Sea of Azov, as in previous days and weeks, enemy ships are still absent. However, the Ukrainian Navy added that 6 Russian ships have been spotted in the Mediterranean Sea, of which 2 are carriers of Kalibr missiles with a total salvo capacity of up to 22 missiles.

Furthermore, over the past day, the following vessels have passed through the Kerch Strait in the interests of Russia:

• in the Black Sea - 4 vessels, of which 3 continued their course towards the Bosporus Strait;
• in the Sea of Azov - 6 vessels, of which 1 was moving from the Bosporus Strait.

The military also added that Russia continues to violate the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea of 1974 (SOLAS) by turning off automatic identification systems.

As a reminder, as of the morning of February 1 and 2, 1 Russian missile carrier with a total salvo of up to 4 missiles was also spotted in the Black Sea. However, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine clarified that the occupiers did not launch Kalibr missiles during the massive strike on Ukraine on February 1.
