Ukraine has attacked a Russian warship in the Gulf of Finland, marking a significant escalation in the maritime conflict. The drone strike targeted the Russian corvette "Naro-Fominsk" during operations against the Ust-Luga oil terminal. This incident raises concerns about the potential for further military actions in the Baltic Sea, which is also used for civilian shipping. Finnish authorities confirmed the attack, emphasizing the stability of maritime traffic despite the incident. The Ukrainian Security Service claimed responsibility, stating the ship was carrying cruise missiles. The attack is seen as a strategic move by Ukraine, although experts do not view it as a major escalation. The operation also involved strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, causing significant fires visible from Estonia.
