Russian Warship Struck by Drones in Baltic Sea
Naro-Fominsk vessel sustained heavy damage and crew casualties following a coordinated strike on Russian infrastructure.
The Russian missile ship Naro-Fominsk was targeted by multiple drones in the Baltic Sea on November 11. The Buyan-M class vessel suffered significant damage that resulted in deaths and injuries among the crew. The ship lost its autonomous navigation capability and required an escort to reach Saint Petersburg.
The attack occurred during a large-scale Ukrainian operation that also struck the Ust-Luga terminal. This facility is one of Russia's primary oil export hubs. The incident caused fires in five storage tanks with a total capacity of 150,000 cubic meters.
Estonian authorities confirmed that the ship was hit by more than three drones. The pattern of the impacts points to the precision of the offensive against Russian military and logistical infrastructure. The Luzhskaya railway station was also affected by explosions during the same operation.
The Ust-Luga terminal, along with the port of Primorsk, accounts for about 40% of the country's maritime oil exports. Ukraine has carried out at least six attacks against this infrastructure throughout 2026. The Naro-Fominsk is a modern unit commissioned in 2022 and equipped with Kalibr and Oniks cruise missiles.
