A Ukrainian "Sub Sea Baby" underwater drone attacked and critically damaged a Russian Kilo-class (636.3 Varshavyanka) submarine in the port of Novorossiysk. The submarine was reportedly forced to remain in port after successful operations by surface naval drones. The vessel can carry up to four Kalibr cruise missiles and is nicknamed the 'Black Hole' for its hull's ability to absorb sound and evade sonar. The SBU estimated the submarine's value at about $400 million, rising to as much as $500 million under current sanctions and construction conditions. The operation involved SBU military counterintelligence and the Naval Forces.
