Estonia reveals details of Ukraine's strike on Russian warship in Baltic Sea

pravda.com.ua (Ukrainian) —

Estonian Colonel Aron Kalmus confirmed that the Russian corvette "Naro-Fominsk" was damaged by multiple Ukrainian drones during an attack on the port of Ust-Luga, and the ship was subsequently escorted to St. Petersburg. The vessel sustained multiple hits, resulting in casualties, and lost the ability to move under its own power before being towed by an accompanying ship. Kalmus noted the drones briefly entered Estonian airspace for minutes but were not shot down to avoid debris falling on Russian territory and potential escalation. The corvette, equipped with Kalibr cruise missiles and Oniks anti-ship missiles, was not designed for air defense. Ukraine's Security Service stated the strike was part of a broader operation targeting oil infrastructure in Ust-Luga.
