US EditionUkraine Hits Russian Cruise Missile Carrier Near Occupied Crimea, Intelligence Claims
Ukrainian military intelligence disabled the radar and damaged the Russian Buyan-M missile ship, forcing its retreat and reducing Moscow's ability to launch Kalibr cruise missiles, HUR said.
- On August 28, 2025, Ukraine's military intelligence service carried out an operation that damaged a Russian Buyan-M-class missile ship operating in the Azov Sea close to the area of Crimea controlled by Russian forces.
- The strike was executed through a coordinated effort by HUR’s Active Operations division and its elite Ghosts unit, focusing on a Russian Kalibr missile-bearing vessel.
- HUR said the strike disabled the ship's radar via an aerial drone from the Ghosts unit, followed by direct fire that forced the vessel to retreat from its patrol zone.
- Before the attack, a Russian missile ship positioned in Temryuk Bay, equipped to fire Kalibr missiles, was targeted; HUR also released alleged drone footage showing the incident.
- This damage represents a setback for Moscow’s naval presence in the Azov Sea and Crimea, as Ukrainian strikes have pressured the Kremlin to reduce its local fleet deployments.
