The commander of the Unmanned Systems Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Robert "Madyar" Brovdi confirmed the strike on a warship of the Russian Baltic Fleet in Kronstadt.
The ship in question is the Project 20380 corvette Boyky, the third corvette of the Russian Baltic Fleet. The ship was launched in 2011 and has been in the fleet since 2013.
Brovdi said the strike hit the corvette, which had been undergoing scheduled repairs at the Veletschinsky dry dock in Kronstadt since February 2026. This city in St. Petersburg is considered one of the main bases of the Russian Baltic Fleet and the "cradle" of the Russian Navy.
The corvette Boikiy is known for participating in campaigns near the borders of NATO countries, as well as escorting vessels of the Russian "shadow fleet." Now the ship itself has found itself in the target zone of Ukrainian drones.
