"The Ukrainian military said on Thursday that it carried out a drone strike on a Russian warship capable of launching cruise missiles, marking the latest attack on Moscow's wounded navy. Ukraine's military intelligence agency, the HUR, said in a statement that it targeted a Buyan-M-class (or Project 21631) corvette operating in the Sea of Azov, a body of water that separates Russia from occupied Ukraine."
"Rather than engage the Russian vessel with exploding naval drones, the HUR said that it used an aerial drone to strike and damage the ship's radar station while another drone attacked the side of the corvette. This kind of ship is a relatively small vessel that can launch powerful Kalibr cruise missiles. Ukraine shared footage of the attack online. The video showed two separate strikes on the corvette. It wasn't immediately clear what types of drones were used."
Ukraine's military intelligence agency, the HUR, reported an aerial drone strike that damaged a Russian Buyan-M-class corvette in the Sea of Azov. The operation targeted the ship's radar station and struck its side, rather than using exploding naval drones. The corvette is capable of launching Kalibr cruise missiles and was reportedly operating in a potential missile-launch zone before being forced to leave. Footage shared online showed two strikes, though types of drones were not confirmed and independent verification was not available. Ukrainian drone and missile operations have damaged numerous Russian naval vessels and prompted fleet relocations.
