A Ukrainian sea drone likely struck a Russian Varshavyanka-class submarine stationed at Novorossiysk Naval Base, Krasnodar Krai.
The submarine, which can launch up to 6 Kalibr cruise missiles, reportedly received critical damage. Based on previous satellite imagery, the drone exploded next to the submarine’s stern. Additionally, according to unconfirmed information, other ships were hit at the port, however there is no visual evidence to support this yet.
The head of the Black Sea Fleet Press Service responded to the claims by stating that none of the ships stationed at Novorossiysk were damaged and are carrying out their duties as usual.
