Ukraine said its naval drones damaged a Russian submarine in the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, in a special operation it claimed was the first such attack.

Underwater drones known as “sub sea baby” struck the Kilo-class submarine, inflicting “critical damage,” the Security Service of Ukraine, or SBU, said Monday in a post on Telegram. The submarine was equipped with four launch systems for Russia’s Kalibr cruise missiles, according to the SBU.
