Russian forces in Crimea have been targeted by a fresh drone strike.

The Russian-appointed regional leader said a Ukrainian drone targeting Russia's Black
Sea fleet in the city of Sevastopol was shot down on Saturday.
It follows a string of attacks on Russian forces and installations in the annexed
peninsula this month.
Meanwhile Ukraine's president has welcomed a deal allowing UN inspectors to visit the
Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, further north.
Early on Saturday a video showed smoke rising from the area in Sevastopol where
Russia's Black Sea fleet is based. The BBC News has not been able to independently
verify the footage.
The Russian-installed governor, Mikhail Razvozhayev, played down the seriousness of
the incident.
He said the fleet's air defences had been activated and the Ukrainian drone destroyed.
"It fell on the roof of the headquarters," he said. "There was no significant damage and
no one was hurt."
Several drone attacks have been reported in Crimea in recent days, including one on an
airbase near Sevastopol on Thursday and another on the harbour on Friday.
Earlier in the month nine Russian jets were destroyed in an attack on the Russian
military base at Saky, on Crimea's western coast.
Footage on social media at the time showed crowds of Russian tourists fleeing a nearby
resort.

The attack in Saky startled tourists on a beach in the region
Crimea was invaded and annexed by Russia in 2014, and Ukraine has vowed to retake
it.
However the Kyiv government has not confirmed or denied involvement in the recent
attacks.
Moscow has blamed sabotage for some of them, indicating some kind of special military
operation perhaps by Ukrainian forces - or those loyal to Kyiv.
Western officials say these incidents are having a major operational and psychological
impact on Russian forces.
In another other development, Russian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the safety of
the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant could start to be restored with a visit of international
inspectors.
He was speaking after Russia's Vladimir Putin said Moscow would grant UN inspectors
access to the facility, north of Crimea.
The Kremlin and Kyiv have blamed each other for shelling the plant over the past week,
raising fears of a nuclear catastrophe.
Meanwhile Russia has pressed on with its tactic of overnight shelling of cities,
targeting Kharkiv, Dnipro and Mykolaiv, among others.
And the Russian-installed mayor of Mariupol reportedly survived an assassination
attempt.

The incident in Mariupol reportedly happened near the entrance of the local zoo
A Russian state TV reporter said the mayor, Kostyantyn Ivashchenko, was in a car
when an explosive device went off at the entrance to the city's zoo.
Also on Saturday, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres held a press conference in
Turkey after another two grain ships left Ukraine.
He said he had been "deeply moved" watching a ship carrying grain heading to the
Horn of Africa and that such deliveries provided "urgently needed relief for those
suffering from acute hunger".
The safe passage of the vessels has been enabled through UN-brokered deals with
Turkey, Russia and Ukraine last month.
Mr Guterres added that enabling the transport of food and fertiliser from Russia is also
critical as the cost of living crisis deepens
