Russia announced on Saturday that its forces had destroyed Ukrainian unmanned surface vessels and other military targets over the past 24 hours, while Ukraine reported downing a Russian Su-30 fighter jet.

In its daily briefing, the Russian Defense Ministry said that over the past 24 hours, Russian forces had struck Ukrainian assembly points, weapon and ammunition depots, and electronic warfare stations in multiple directions.

Russian air defense forces also shot down more than 200 drones, and intercepted aerial bombs, HIMARS rockets, and some other targets, it said.

The ministry also reported the destruction of more than 20 Ukrainian unmanned surface vessels that were attempting to attack infrastructure in Crimea.

Also on Saturday, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that its troops had engaged in over 100 clashes with Russian forces along the frontlines.

On the same day, Ukraine's Defense Intelligence posted on social media that its special operation unit, in coordination with the Security Service of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Defense Forces, destroyed a Russian Su-30 fighter jet over the Black Sea near Novorossiysk on Friday.

The post also highlighted that this marked the first time in history that a naval drone had destroyed a manned fighter jet.

The Russian side has yet to comment on that, but Novorossiysk Mayor Andrey Kravchenko announced on social media Saturday that a state of emergency had been declared in the city following drone, unmanned surface vehicle, and missile attacks from Ukraine from Friday evening to early Saturday morning.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has dismissed the 72-hour truce proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, reaffirming Ukraine's support for the U.S.-proposed 30-day unconditional truce, according to a report by Ukrinform on Saturday.

On April 28, Putin announced a three-day truce starting from midnight of May 8 (2100 GMT May 7).

The Kremlin said that Putin had ordered a full cessation of hostilities to mark the 80th anniversary of Russia's Victory Day, which falls on May 9.
