This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukraine used an experimental sea drone to strike and damage a Russian missile ship off the coast of occupied Crimea, Ukrainian sources claim.
An image circulated on social media appeared to show the ship being towed for repairs, but Insider was unable to verify it.
The Ukrainian account contradicts Russia’s defense ministry, which confirmed that the Samum was attacked but claimed that it was repelled and that the drone was destroyed, per Reuters.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) used an experimental Sea Baby drone in the attack, which can operate in stormy conditions and evade detection behind high waves, Ukrainian media outlet New Voice reported.
The Sea Baby drones are a “unique invention” of the SBU, its head Vasyl Maliuk previously said, and were used to attack the Crimean Bridge last month.
Russia has been using its fleet to impose a de facto blockade on Ukraine’s food exports by blocking the country’s ports.
