Attack in port city: Ukraine hits Russian warship

A Russian warship was apparently hit in an attack on the Russian port city of Novorossiysk.

It is said to be the “Olenegorsky Gornyak”, like n-tv.de Reported. Several videos on social media show footage of a sea drone racing toward a ship. This information has not yet been independently confirmed. Furthermore, videos have surfaced showing a Russian warship clearly leaning and being pulled by a tugboat toward the port. According to Sky News, a Ukraine intelligence official has since confirmed the attack on the Russian base to Reuters news agency. This approach is rather atypical; normally, the Ukrainian administration shrouds itself in silence for a long time after such attacks.
