Attack on Russian ship in the Baltic. Ukraine claims it struck with drones
On November 11, Finnish armed forces reported a strike on a Russian warship in the Gulf of Finland, which was later confirmed by Ukrainian sources. The Ukrainian Security Service stated that drones targeted the Russian corvette Naro-Fominsk, part of a broader operation against Russian military infrastructure. The incident occurred near Gogland Island, prompting Finland to impose temporary maritime and airspace restrictions. Estonia's defense minister confirmed an explosion on the Russian ship, but the cause remains unverified. The situation has raised security concerns for NATO countries bordering Russia and Belarus, although Finland reported no direct military threat.
