Ukrainian drones have reportedly struck a Russian frigate, a Kalibr missile carrier, in the port of Novorossiysk. There is speculation whether the vessel was the Admiral Grigorovich or another frigate of the same type.

On the night of March 2, Ukraine’s Security Service, along with the Defense Forces, struck the sea minesweeper Valentin Pikul and seriously damaged two anti-submarine warfare ships, Yeysk and Kasimov, in a Novorossiysk port attack.

Drones from the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) Alpha Special Operations Center, in collaboration with other defense forces, caused explosions at military and oil facilities in the port of Novorossiysk, which are involved in the conflict.

Sources within Ukraine's Security Service (SSU) have disclosed details of an attack on the Russian frigate Admiral Essen in Novorossiysk port on March 2, stating the ship can no longer fire Kalibr missiles.

Olha Stefanishyna, Ukraine's Ambassador to the US, says Washington issued a formal démarche after Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s Novorossiysk port allegedly affected American-linked investments routed
