CNN: Russian warship seen listing in Black Sea after Ukrainian sea drone attack on major base
Ukrainian sea drones attacked a major naval base in Russia on Friday, leaving a damaged Russian warship listing in the Black Sea in a brazen strike carried out hundreds of miles from Ukrainian-held territory.
Dramatic social media videos showed the vessel, an amphibious Russian landing ship, tilting badly and sitting very low in the water as it was being towed near the base at Novorossiysk, Russia’s largest port.
The incident comes against the backdrop of rising tensions in the Black Sea and stepped up Ukrainian strikes against targets across Russia after President Volodymr Zelensky pledged to “return” the war to Russian territory.

WNU Editor: I see a trend. A US Global Hawk was in the Black Sea this week. Whenever this US spy drone is in the region, a drone attack like this one usually happens within 48 - 72 hours.
The ship that was struck, the Olenogorsky Gornyak, is a Russian navy landing craft (link here).
There is speculation within Russia that this drone attack was launched from Romania, NOT Ukraine. The Military Summary channel has an extensive report on this attack (see video below)

Sucks when the shoe is on the other foot.
Russia provided Saddam Hussein GPS jammers in 2003. It resulted in ordinance going off target. Russian politicians and generals patted themselves on the back every time those GPS jammers increased collateral damage.
