Open source reports state that the Russian missile carrier Buyan was struck and damaged by what are thought to be experimental drones in the Black Sea Naval base at Sevastopol (exact time not specified). Minesweepers and divers were unable to confirm the type of weapon use in the attack. In a separate incident on the 11 Oct 2023 the Russian Patrol ship Pavel Derzhavin suffered damage by what sources say was a mine in Sevastopol Road. The extent of damage and casualty numbers to both vessels have not been released. These type of attacks were said by Ukrainian forces to deny Russia control of the Black Sea and to regain control of vital shipping routes. |
