Details: The warship was struck during a Ukrainian defence forces operation targeting oil infrastructure at the port of Ust-Luga in Russia's Leningrad Oblast. The SSU said the strike on the ship had been planned in advance and carried out during the overnight attack on Russia.

The small missile ship Naro-Fominsk belongs to Russia's Baltic Fleet.

Quote: "This vessel is a carrier of Kalibr and Oniks cruise missiles. It was commissioned in 2022."

Details: The Service will also verify information concerning the destruction of Russian combat helicopters during the overnight operation.

For reference: Buyan-M-class missile ships have a displacement of 850 tonnes. They are armed with an eight-cell Kalibr-NK universal vertical launch system and Oniks missile launchers. They also carry anti-aircraft guns, machine guns and a 100mm gun mount.
