On July 23, the Defense Forces struck the Slavyanin rail ferry at Port Kavkaz in Russia's Krasnodar Oblast along the Sea of Azov, according to a report from the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The Ukrainian Navy, in coordination with other Defense Forces units, delivered significant damage to the enemy ferry Slavyanin in Port Kavkaz.

This ferry is the third and last that Russia had in the region.

It was used by the occupiers to transport railway cars, vehicles, and containers for military purposes, the General Staff noted.
