Ukraine Claims First-Ever Drone Strike on Russian Submarine

Ukraine says it has successfully attacked a Russian submarine using an underwater drone. The strike reportedly caused serious damage to the vessel. The target was a Russian Kilo-class submarine. These are advanced vessels capable of firing cruise missiles. The attack happened while the submarine was in port on the Black Sea. This marks the first time Ukraine has claimed to hit a Russian submarine. It is part of a series of Ukrainian naval drone attacks. These remote-controlled, unmanned boats have become a key weapon for Ukraine. The attack demonstrates Ukraine's ongoing ability to strike Russian military assets in the Black Sea. It comes as Ukraine seeks to show its strength in the region despite not having a traditional navy.
