Ukrainian Intelligence Strikes Russian Missile Ship in Azov Sea
On August 28, 2025, a Buyan-M class missile vessel, capable of carrying Kalibr cruise missiles, was targeted by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) in the Sea of Azov near occupied Crimea. The DIU reported that the Prymary Special Unit employed an aerial drone to damage the vessel’s radar system. Simultaneously, special forces from the Department of Active Operations struck the hull of the Russian corvette, causing it to sustain damage and withdraw from its combat duty location. This operation follows a recent DIU report of an uncrewed surface vessel attack in Novorossiysk Bay.
