Ukrainian drones strike a Russian Buyan-M-class missile ship, the Naro-Fominsk, in the Baltic Sea, Estonia says, damaging the vessel and causing crew deaths and injuries. The Estonian Defense Forces report that the ship cannot reach St. Petersburg without an escort, citing information from a senior Estonian military officer.
The incident is linked in multiple reports to a wider Ukrainian drone operation on Nov. 11 that targets Russia’s Ust-Luga port and associated oil and port infrastructure. Across the outlets, the emphasis differs on the scope of the broader attack and on specific operational consequences for the ship.
Kyiv Post highlights the crew casualties and the ship’s limited ability to travel. Ukrainska Pravda and ERR News focus more directly on Estonia’s account of the missile ship being struck by several drones during the Ust-Luga strike, with ERR News briefly reiterating the casualties framing.
