On Saturday, the head of the Ukrainian air force posted a message on the Telegram social media site about airstrikes against a Russian target in the Luhansk region. In recent months, Ukraine has conducted a number of operations in Crimea, with many successful strikes. Russia often claims drone attacks, local Telegram channels report explosions and the occupying authorities traditionally close the bridge connecting the peninsula to Russia.
Russian rescue tug also damaged in Ukrainian Navy’s attack on Pavel Derzhavin patrol ship
In a prior incident on the early morning of Sept. 14, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck and damaged two patrol ships of the aggressor country, both of the Project Vasily Bykov type, in the southwestern Black Sea. In a prior incident on Sept. 14, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck and damaged two patrol ships of the aggressor country, both of the Project Vasily Bykov type, in the southwestern Black Sea. However, at least on the first ship, the 100 mm A-190 was installed.[23] A proposed export version may carry the Italian OTO Melara 76 mm gun.[24] For anti-missile defense, the first two ships will only carry a pair of AK-630M gun-based CIWS. According to naval analysts the primary missions of the Type corvette class, pre-war are patrol of territorial waters, anti-submarine warfare and cargo ship escort. Russia's Ministry of Defense admitted damage to one of its ships on Saturday, saying Ukraine had launched a barrage of 15 cruise missiles at the shipyard, which it referred to by its alternative name of Butomy, the state-owned news agency RIA Novosti reported.

Russian officials later in the day announced that all public transportation in Sevastopol city, including local ferries, would be shut down for unspecified reasons. Reports of the Pavel Derzhavin being struck first emerged on Thursday though the cause was unclear at the time. The SSU warns the Muscovites not to sail in Ukrainian waters if they want to preserve at least some remnants of their fleet."

An explosion rocked Sevastopol Bay on Oct. 13, likely involving a Buyan-M-class small missile ship, known to carry Russia’s Kalibr missiles, the “Krymsky veter” Telegram channel reported. She added that, while Ukraine doesn't yet have a full report on how badly damaged the missile carrier is, "based on the pictures we've seen, the damage is quite significant." "You can see that (the ship's) still afloat, but the upper part of the ship is significantly damaged," Ryzhenko said, referring to satellite images released by California-based global-imaging company Planet Labs that appear to show the aftermath of the strike on the vessel.
Due to the small tonnage, they can operate even in shallow areas of oceans and seas and Russia’s extensive inland waterway system. Mikhail Razvozhayev, Russian-appointed sham "head" of Sevastopol, claimed that the explosions were supposedly related to Russian military exercises. Russia’s Kh-47M2 Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missile, for example, can allegedly reach Mach 10, equivalent to more than 7,600mph. Russia also possesses plenty of long-range weaponry, including more than 500 land-based ballistic missile launchers.

"The Ukrainian pilots did an excellent job and returned to the base," he wrote, according to a report by the Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform. The Ukrainian operation also exposed the limitation of Russian air defences, the source said. The loss of the headquarters would impact Russia's ability to command its forces in the surrounding Luhansk region, according to the source, who shared the information on condition of anonymity.

There are currently no reports of damage or casualties but videos posted to social media on Friday showed a Russian ship – believed to be the Buyan – billowing smoke off the coast of Sevastopol. In September, Ukraine damaged two ships at the port of Sevastopol in Crimea, in a move that analysts said prompted Russia to redistribute much of its fleet away from the key port. The naval news website Maritime Executive reported that Askold would have been brand new at the time of the strike.
Ships
The strike launched by Ukrainian aircraft has been described as a "heavy blow" for the Russian armed forces. The ship didn't even have time to join the fight, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian air force, Yuriy Ihnat, told broadcasters. The ships are primarily designed for coastal zone operations to protect Russia’s vast coastal areas.
Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU), in conjunction with the Ukrainian Navy, conducted an operation targeting the Russian Buyan-M class cruise missile carrier and a patrol ship, the Pavel Derzhavin, using experimental maritime drone weaponry, the Maritime Baby, NV sources reported on Oct. 13. Ukraine’s SBU Security Service, in conjunction with the Ukrainian Navy, conducted an operation targeting the Russian Buyan-M class cruise missile carrier and a patrol ship, the Pavel Derzhavin, using experimental maritime drone weaponry, NV sources reported on Oct. 13. All vessels since 2010 have been constructed as the improved Project subclass, incorporating greater tonnage, stealth technology and the 3S14 vertical launching system for either Kalibr or Onyx anti-ship cruise missiles, significantly enhancing combat capabilities. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Ukrainian Navy attacked the Buyan cruise missile carrier and the ship Pavel Derzhavin with naval drones with experimental weapons, a source in the SBU told Interfax-Ukraine.

The Security Service of Ukraine, together with the Ukrainian Navy, has attacked the Buyan cruise missile carrier and the ship Pavel Derzhavin using experimental weapons on uncrewed surface vessels. "Today's attack on the Buyan missile carrier and the day before yesterday's explosion of the Derzhavin were the work of the Security Service together with the Ukrainian Navy," the agency's interlocutor said, adding that both vessels were hit by Sea Maliuk (baby) drones with experimental weapons . Russia's Defense Ministry said that one of its warships was damaged in the attack without elaborating, but added that its forces allegedly shot down 13 of 15 cruise missiles fired by Ukraine. The Navy later clarified that there was no confirmation of damage to the Buyan-M class cruise missile carrier, but confirmed the damage to Nikolai Muru rescue tugboat during the attack. Ukraine has used British cruise missiles to hit a Russian military headquarters in the occupied city of Luhansk in the east of the country, a military source has told Sky News.
Ukrainian intelligence asserted that a large landing ship, Minsk, and the submarine Rostov-on-Don were struck and considered beyond repair. The Russian navy operates 74 warships and 51 submarines, while the army has more than 13,300 tanks, almost 20,000 armoured fighting vehicles, and nearly 6,000 pieces of artillery. Military analyst Ian Matveev said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the video shows French SCALP or Storm Shadow missiles hitting a small warship at the shipbuilding plant.
A Ukrainian ministerial advisor, Anton Gerashchenko, also posted footage that appeared to show a large blaze at the shipyard. His post hinted that French-supplied SCALP missiles, also known as Storm Shadow missiles, were used in the attack. Details of the operation and the means of attack are not being officially disclosed at this time. And its air force possesses around 150 aircraft and 40 helicopters – roughly a tenth of Russia’s supply. President Putin has boasted about Russia’s hypersonic missiles, which are missiles that travel faster than Mach 5, or 3,836mph. "This means that the carrier will definitely not come back to service any time soon," Humeniuk said.
Modern cruise missiles are self-navigating and capable of travelling at high subsonic, supersonic, or hypersonic speeds. Russia has started using cruise missiles more widely in Ukraine, as the invasion enters its third week. "We noticed that the enemy put two frigates on combat duty – missile carriers equipped with 16 Kalibr missiles, trying to create some situation [threat] in the Black Sea. The defense forces had to react. It's too early to summarize, but I think the results will please everyone." Ukraine struck a new Russian missile carrier over the weekend, causing significant damage to the vessel before it had even had the chance to join the Black Sea Fleet, military officials said.
After analyzing satellite images released by Planet Labs on Sunday, the Ukrainian naval captain Andriy Ryzhenko told Radio Free Europe's investigative arm that the ship damaged was probably the corvette Askold. On Saturday evening, the commander of Ukraine's air force, Mykola Oleshchuk, announced Ukraine had targeted the Zaliv shipyard in the Russian-occupied peninsula of Crimea. A cruise missile is a guided missile, making them highly precise at striking targets hundreds or even thousands of miles away. The photo circulating online appears to show the ship's blackened and charred hull, while a video appears to show the moment the warship was hit by a missile.
Yesterday, the Alrosa (class) submarine was lucky to escape our efforts,” said one of the operation’s organizers. The Security Service has not disclosed any details yet but added that both vessels were hit by Sea Baby drones with experimental weapons. Initial information about a modified Project 21631, dubbed Buyan-M, was published in August 2010. They were to be up-armed with a USKS VLS system supporting the nuclear-capable Kalibr cruise missiles (SS-N-27 Sizzler) and with additional electronic countermeasure equipment.[6][7] Ships of Project were designated for national economic zones protection, same as the original variants.
