Ukraine’s security service and navy claimed to have used an unmanned boat, known as a sea drone, to scupper a landing ship in Russia’s Black sea port of Novorossiysk, as on-board camera footage emerged of an apparent twilight attack.
The 112 metre long Olenegorsky Gornyak from Russia’s Northern Fleet, which has been used to transport troops and military hardware into occupied Ukrainian ports, was said by officials in Kyiv to be sufficiently damaged to have been put out of combat action.
The claim came as images emerged of both a Russian war ship tilting to its side and then footage from the head of the marine drone of it apparently moving stealthy across the Black Sea towards the ship and then striking it at its centre. The images could not be immediately independently verified.
Earlier, Russia’s defence ministry had claimed that they had successfully destroyed two unmanned sea boats targeting the Russian naval base overnight.
A Ukrainian security source told Reuters news agency that this assertion was false.
“As a result of the attack, the Olenegorsky Gornyak received a serious breach and currently cannot conduct its combat missions,” the source said. “All the Russian statements about a ‘repelled attack’ are fake”.
The port of Novorossiysk hosts the terminus of a pipeline that carries most Kazakh oil exports through Russia. It handles 2% of the world’s oil supply and also exports grain.
The fuel hub’s operator Caspian pipeline consortium lifted a ban on ship movements by mid-morning local time to allow oil tankers to be moored at the terminal.
The Olenegorsky Gornyak is a
Ropucha-class project 775 large landing ship, built by the Soviet Union in the 1970s, with a capacity to carry a 450-ton cargo and 25 armoured personnel carriers.
It has a crew of about 100 people and is one of three landing ships that has been permanently on the Black Sea since Russia started its full-scale war against Ukraine in February 2022.
