Ukrainian security forces released footage of a kamikaze naval drone attack on the Russian reconnaissance ship “Ivan Hurs” in Turkey’s exclusive economic zone.
Russian officials condemned the Ukrainian attack and claimed they had managed to destroy three unmanned speedboats, but images released by the Ukrainians showed at least one of the drones coming close to the vessel’s hull.
In a video published by the adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Anton Herashchenko, he claims that one of the three drones allegedly hit the target.
Yesterday I wrote about the ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet “Ivan Khurs”, which was attacked by unmanned aerial vehicles.
Russia said “the ship continues to perform its functions,” without mentioning its condition.
It seems that the third drone did manage to damage the ship? pic.twitter.com/ZdYyQQq10f

On the other hand, the Russian Ministry of Defense in Moscow says that it was an “unsuccessful attack attempt by three unmanned speedboats” and that the ship “Ivan Khurs” “continues to perform its assigned tasks”, but did not specify whether there was any damage.
Images of such a naval drone attack and how such a vessel comes under fire from a Russian ship and explodes in the sea have been published in Russian media.
It is unclear whether the footage was taken at the same moment, or whether there were multiple attacks at different times over the past day.
