According to Navy commander Vice Admiral Oleksii Neizhpapa, the attack was recorded by drone and shared on social media, showing the exact moment the boat is hit and a fire starts onboard. The vessel, believed to belong to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, was located and taken down during a coastal movement.
Although the exact date of the operation has not been revealed, it is believed that a Bayraktar TB2 attack drone was used, based on the interface shown in the released footage. The number of Russian soldiers killed in the action has not yet been confirmed, and it was also not possible to precisely identify the model of the destroyed vessel.
The Ukrainian commander thanked the military personnel involved and highlighted the effectiveness of the operation. In the previous month, Ukraine had already conducted a successful action using naval and aerial drones in the Black Sea, striking targets on gas extraction platforms under Russian control, reinforcing its strategy of using technology to undermine occupying forces.
