The Russian warship was attacked using an 'experimental' drone, according to Ukrainian media.
The maritime"Sea Baby" drone struck Russia'smissile ship near the entrance to the Sevastopol Bay, located in the largest city on the Crimean peninsula, on Thursday, according to a report from Ukrainian news outlet Ukrainska Pravda, citing the Security Service of Ukraine .
Kyiv has claimed to have liberated roughly a dozen Russian-occupied villages in the latest counteroffensive, which was launched around June 4, though some reports have indicated the effort has gone slower than military officials hoped. The counteroffensive has included attacks on Crimea, a region Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014 that has served as Russia's central logistics hub for its forces in Southern Ukraine amid the war.
The attack reportedly used an"experimental" marine drone that is capable of evading detection from high waves during a storm. During the attack, waves reached heights of roughly 6.5 feet, or two meters, according to the report.
