This incident is the latest in a series of Ukrainian attacks on Russian naval assets. On Aug. 21, military intelligence reported destroying a Russian patrol boat near Zaliznyi Port in Kherson Oblast, killing five crew members. A week later, a Russian Buyan-M-class missile ship was damaged near occupied Crimea.
Over the course of the full-scale war, Ukraine has destroyed multiple Russian vessels, including the Caesar Kunikov landing ship, Sergei Kotov patrol ship, Ivanovets missile corvette, and several high-speed landing crafts. Kyiv claims that its missile and drone campaign has disabled or destroyed roughly one-third of the Black Sea Fleet, forcing Moscow to withdraw many of its forces further east from occupied Crimea.
