Finland says it detects strike on Russian warship in Baltic Sea
Ukraine said the ship was a Buyan-M missile corvette, and officials reported fires and damage to five fuel tanks at Ust-Luga.
- Ukraine struck the Kalibr-capable missile ship Naro-Fominsk in the Gulf of Finland, marking the first Ukrainian attack on an operational Russian warship at sea in the region since the full-scale invasion began.
- Security Service officials confirmed the strike occurred during a large-scale drone operation against Russia's Leningrad region, with Finnish and Estonian officials corroborating an explosion near Gogland Island.
- The vessel was hit roughly 40 kilometers from Finland and 180 kilometers from St. Petersburg, placing Russian naval assets nearly 968 kilometers from Ukraine in the crosshairs.
- Unlike previous strikes on ships in dry docks, this operation targeted the Buyan-M-class vessel while it was conducting duties at sea, equipped with an eight-cell vertical launch system for Kalibr cruise missiles.
- This incident follows 2024 sabotage operations against the Serpukhov and Aleksandr Obukhov in Kaliningrad, and previous strikes on the patrol icebreaker Purga and corvette Boykiy, demonstrating Ukraine's expanding reach.
