  • Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) used Sub Sea Baby underwater drones to attack Russia's Novorossiysk naval base, disabling a Kilo-class submarine.
  • The targeted submarine, worth up to €340 million, carried Kalibr cruise missiles used by Russia to strike Ukraine.
  • This marks the first successful use of underwater drones against a submarine of this class, showcasing Ukraine's evolving maritime capabilities.
  • The operation was a joint effort by Ukraine’s SBU military counterintelligence and Naval Forces.
  • Following the attack, the damaged submarine was forced to remain in Novorossiysk port due to prior SBU operations.
  • Ukraine has been increasingly using domestically produced maritime drones to push Russia's navy away from occupied Crimea to mainland ports like Novorossiysk.
