Ukrainskaya Pravda, citing a source in the SBU, reports that yesterday a naval drone attacked the Samum missile ship. The Sea Baby hit the rear right side of the vessel. With “a large trim to the stern and a list to starboard,” it was towed away for repairs.

It is reported that for the attack the SBU used an experimental drone that is capable of operating in a storm, hiding from detection behind high waves. During the special operation, the wave height reached 1.5-2 m.
