Russia alleges Canadian-made parts in drones targeting ships

The drones used to attack Russian ships in the Black Sea in Crimea were equipped with Canadian-made parts used in the navigation systems, according to Russia's defence ministry. It said 16 Ukrainian drones attacked the fleet in the Black Sea in the annexed Crimean Peninsula early on Saturday. Russia said its navy "repelled" the assault in the bay of Sevastopol. The Russian military "conducted an examination of Canadian-made navigation modules" found in the shot-down unmanned aerial vehicles. "According to the results of the information recovered from the navigation receiver's memory, it was established that the launch of maritime drones was carried out from the coast near the city of Odesa," the ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
