SBU claims to have blown up a Russian submarine in Novorossiysk port on Russian territory. A video of the explosion has been released.
Ukrainian underwater drones "Sub Sea Baby" detonated a Russian submarine of the 636.3 "Varshavyanka" class (NATO classification - Kilo), which was located in the port of Novorossiysk, claims the Security Service of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian intelligence agency published a video on social media showing the alleged explosion of the submarine in the port. "As a result of the explosion, the submarine received critical damage and is, in fact, out of service," stated the SBU.

On board the submarine were four launchers for Kalibr cruise missiles, which Russian forces use to strike Ukrainian territory, the agency stated. The cost of one Varshavyanka class submarine is estimated by the agency to be approximately $400 million.
@ru.madia The Security Service of Ukraine has attacked a Russian submarine for the first time using drones. The target was a Varshavyanka class submarine, which was launching Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian territory. The submarine is estimated to cost around $400 million. After the strike, it received critical damage and is effectively out of service. The attack was carried out by underwater drones Sea Baby, previously used against Russian "shadow" tankers. Given the sanctions, building a replacement could cost up to $500 million. #сбу #сво #россия #новости #подлодка ♬ оригинальный звук - madia.ru
Independent confirmations of the information about the submarine explosion in Novorossiysk have not been received. The Russian Ministry of Defense has not commented on the SBU's statement.
In the fall of 2025, Ukrainian drones repeatedly attacked oil terminals in the port of Novorossiysk, where the Russian Black Sea Fleet's naval base is also located. In the city itself, residential buildings and the office of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium were targeted.
