Ukrainian Navy says sea drone struck Russian support vessel in Sochi port
Ukraine’s Navy says one of its unmanned surface vessels struck the Russian support ship Nefrit in the port of Sochi, with a powerful explosion and smoke reported near the vessel.
According to the Navy, Nefrit is a multipurpose support vessel operating under the Russian flag and forms part of Russia’s maritime and energy infrastructure.
The vessel has supported oil and gas operations and offshore facilities, transported cargo and personnel, and carried out underwater technical work.
The Ukrainian Navy described the strike as a blow to Russia’s logistics and specialized maritime capabilities, saying Nefrit’s operations supported the country’s war economy.
The Navy did not specify the extent of the damage to the vessel.
