SBU Confirms Ust-Luga Strike, Says Kalibr-Carrying Missile Ship Also Hit
Ukraine said the strike damaged a Kalibr-armed warship, marking its first attack on an operational Russian vessel at sea in the Baltic region.
- 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.

- 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.
