Among the crew of the Russian small missile ship “Naro-Fominsk”, which was attacked by Ukrainian drones in the Gulf of Finland, there are dead and wounded. The aftermath of the strike was described by Aron Kalmus, deputy commander of a division of the Estonian Defence Forces, reports Censor.NET.

According to the Estonian military officer, several drones took part in the attack. He did not give the exact number of hits, but said there were more than three. The ship was damaged.

After the strike, “Naro-Fominsk” initially headed towards Saint Petersburg under its own power, but later stopped. It was unable to continue on its own and needed an additional vessel to escort it.

The attack took place on the night of November 11. The Security Service of Ukraine, together with other components of the Defence Forces of Ukraine, struck the port’s oil, transport, and other infrastructure at the port of Ust-Luga in Russia’s Leningrad Region. The missile carrier was also hit.

The ship is designed to strike targets at sea and on land. Its launchers can fire:
