Russia on Friday (August 4) claimed that it thwarted a <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/russia-claims-to-thwart-ukrainian-attacks-on-naval-base-in-black-sea-crimean-peninsula-622251">drone attack on its naval base</a> there with two sea drones, but a video shows a moment when a sea drone headed directly towards a Russian ship near the port of Novorossiysk. In that particular region, explosions have been heard overnight.&nbsp;

The news agency Reuters reported citing two sources familiar with the matter that a Russian warship was seriously damaged in an overnight Ukrainian naval drone attack.&nbsp;

The video has been shared by a source at Ukraine's security service. In the video, a drone can be seen moving across the Black Sea and approaching the Russian vessel.&nbsp;

The Ukrainian intelligence sources have told various news outlets that the Olenegorsky Gornyak, which is a "landing ship" was hit. The vessel was reportedly designed to carry equipment and personnel for beach landings.&nbsp;

The source also said that there was a crew of around 100 Russian servicemen on the vessel when it was attacked by a sea drone carrying 450kg&nbsp;of TNT. Authorities have not provided any information about damage or casualties.&nbsp;

But according to a source with knowledge of the port's operations, a large Russian naval vessel had to be towed ashore because it could not move under its own power after being damaged.&nbsp;
