Ukraine unsuccessfully tried to attack with unmanned boats the ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet "Ivan Khurs," which ensured the safety of the Turkish Stream and Blue Stream gas pipelines, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.
All enemy boats were destroyed by the Russian military 140 kilometers (86.9 miles) northeast of the Bosphorus Strait, the ministry said, adding that the ship Ivan Khurs continues to fulfill its tasks.

"After the terrorist attack on September 26, 2022 on the Nord Stream-1 and Nord Stream-2, the Russian military has been taking measures to protect such facilities. And not in vain. Today, at 5:30 a.m. [local time, 2:30 GMT], the Ukrainian armed forces with the use of three unmanned high-speed boats made an unsuccessful attempt to attack the ship Ivan Khurs that was performing tasks to ensure the safety of the Turkish Stream and Blue Stream gas pipelines in the exclusive economic zone of the Republic of Turkiye," the ministry said.

The Blue Stream is the main gas pipeline transferring gas from Russia to Turkiye through the Black Sea. The pipeline constructed by Russian Gazprom and Italian energy company, runs through territories of Eastern Europe.
The TurkStream (formerly Turkish Stream) is an 11.5 billion euro pipeline capable of pumping up to 31.5 billion cubic meters of Russian gas per year to Turkiye.
