Ukraine revised its tally of Russian ships it said were damaged in strikes over the weekend.
It said four Russian ships were hit, when earlier statements just mentioned two.
Ukraine has targeted Russia's Black Sea Fleet, which the UK said is now "functionally inactive."

Ukraine said that its weekend strikes on Russia's Black Sea Fleet were more successful than it previously revealed, with damage to two additional vessels.

Ukraine's navy said on Sunday that it struck two of Russia's large landing ships, the Yamal and the Azov, in occupied Crimea, in an attack on Saturday.
