The strike marks the first time a commercial Russian port has been targeted in the 18-month war.
Ukrainian sea drones attacked a major Russian port on the Black Sea on Friday, damaging a naval ship, according to a Ukrainian official, the latest in a series of strikes inside Russia as Kyiv vowed to bring the fight home to them. Moscow claimed it repelled the attack.
Ukrainian news agencies carried footage from social media channels that they suggested showed the Olenegorsky Gornyak listing to one side. The ship is designed to transport troops and heavy equipment and was sent for repairs in 2014, according to Russian media reports. It is normally based with Russia’s Northern Fleet in the Arctic.
Friday's attack is the latest in a string of assaults inside Russian territory. Earlier this week, drones hit a building in Moscow — and a drone even struck the Kremlin harmlessly in May.
