This is the best summary I could come up with:
At 1am on Thursday, the Ukrainian armed forces struck targets near the Kerch Bridge with precision-guided missiles.
A Russian Mangust patrol boat was destroyed in the attack, a Ukrainian military source has told Sky News.
South of the Kerch Strait, Ukraine has wreaked havoc in the Black Sea - despite the fact it does not have a traditional navy.
Ukraine’s forces claim to have sunk a third of Russia’s warships in just over two years of war, in a heavy blow to Moscow’s naval capabilities.
Ukrainian navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk said: "There is, of course, some stock of ships remaining, but the most valuable assets are all removed.
“Our ultimate goal is complete absence of military ships of the so-called Russian Federation in the Azov and Black Sea regions.”
