Russia Navy Naro-Fominsk Damaged

Hit in the Gulf of Finland on the morning of 11 November 2026 by Ukrainian drones, according to Ukraine's Security Service (SBU), which said it targeted the ship as part of a wider drone operation against Russia's Ust-Luga oil export terminal on the Baltic coast. Finnish officials confirmed that a Russian warship had been attacked in the gulf. Estonia's defence minister told public broadcaster ERR that the ship was hit at about 05:30 local time, that smoke came from it afterwards and that it headed back towards St Petersburg. The BBC described the strike as thought to be the first Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian ship in an area of the Baltic open to civilian maritime traffic. Moscow has not commented, and the extent of damage and casualties is unknown. Naro-Fominsk is a Project 21631 Buyan-M missile corvette of the Baltic Fleet, commissioned in 2023.
