==Sinking of the Ivanovets==
On January 30, 2024 the Russian Internet failed for several hours. More specifically, websites using the .RU Top Level Domain stopped loading for Internet users both in Russia and abroad. The incident affected online giants like the search engine Yandex, the social network Vkontakte, and the e-commerce platform Ozon, as well as the websites of several major banks and online marketplaces. Russia’s Digital Development Ministry later confirmed the suspicions of specialists, announcing that the entire .RU domain temporarily lost its DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions), meaning that the digital signatures used to ensure normal web browsing suddenly broke.<ref>https://meduza.io/en/feature/2024/02/01/the-russian-internet-s-domain-problems-and-how-the-war-in-ukraine-narrows-the-kremlin-s-options-for-online-controls</ref>
On January 31, 2024 the Russian Black Sea fleet lost the missile corvette ''Ivanovets'' as a result of the night attack of unmanned boats near the coast of the [[Crimean peninsula]]. The [[Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine]] (GUR) claimed the destruction of the warship and supported the report with footage of the attack.
The operation was reportedly carried out by the special unit “Group 13” of the [[GUR]] with the support of the [[Ministry of Digital Transformation]] of Ukraine and the United24 platform.
Russian military sources revealed details of the attack. In total, 9 unmanned boats were reportedly launched from the [[Danube river]] in the [[Odessa]] region. The crew of the Russian ''Ivanovets'' took the battle near the Lake Donuzlav. At least four boats were reportedly destroyed by Russian fire.
In total, three drones reportedly hit the vessel. As a result of the strikes, the missiles on board of the corvette exploded and ''Ivanovets'' sunk.
