  "account": "On 8-9 September, Ukrainian forces claimed to have hit three Russian warships in the port of Novorossiysk with their Neptune anti-ship missiles. The Ukrainian navy's general staff confirmed hits on three vessels: the Admiral Essen, the minesweeper Zheleznyakov, and the landing ship Pyotr Morgunov, in addition to fuel-oil storage facilities. Exilenova+, an open-source Ukrainian group, analyzed satellite imagery and reported two more Kalibr carriers hit: a Buyan-M corvette and the frigate Admiral Makarov. Removing these eight Kalibr-equipped ships from Russia's Black Sea Fleet is a top priority for Ukraine, as they are heavily relied upon for launching long-range missiles. The damage to these ships could significantly weaken Russia's naval capabilities in the region, potentially forcing them to retreat to safer harbors.",
  "summary": "Ukraine is intensifying its efforts to eliminate Russia's ability to fire Kalibr cruise missiles at Ukrainian cities.",
