Ukraine strikes Russian missile ship in Baltic Sea, hits fuel infrastructure

Ukraine struck the Russian missile ship "Naro-Fominsk" in the Baltic Sea overnight on November 11, as part of a Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) special operation, causing casualties among its crew. The vessel, a Buyan-M class corvette capable of carrying Kalibr and Oniks cruise missiles, was hit near Gogland Island in the Gulf of Finland. The attack also targeted port and oil infrastructure in Ust-Luga, damaging fuel tanks and causing fires at multiple terminals. The SBU confirmed the strike and noted it is verifying reports of destroyed Russian helicopters in the Leningrad region. The ship was launched in 2022, and the operation underscores Ukraine's ability to strike Russian territory in response to attacks on its cities.
