According to reports, the attack hit the Russian FSB patrol boat Sobol and the anti-sabotage boat Grachonok. Enemy forces reportedly suffered both fatal and wounded casualties. These vessels are considered key units used by Russian coastal forces and the navy to guard the Kerch Bridge and conduct anti-diversion operations. The strike marks another step in reducing Russian capabilities in the Black Sea region.
