This information has not been officially confirmed by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation even after the defeat of the ship became obvious.

Early in the morning on Friday, August 4, explosions thundered in the waters of Novorossiysk and the village of Myskhako. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated: “Tonight, the armed forces of Ukraine, using two sea unmanned boats, attempted to attack the Novorossiysk naval base. In the course of repelling the attack, unmanned boats were visually detected and destroyed by fire from the standard weapons of Russian ships guarding the external raid of the naval base ". The mayor of Novorossiysk Andrey Kravchenko reported that the attack of surface drones was repulsed by the crews of the Olenegorsky Gornyak and Suvorovets ships.

The explosions allegedly did not damage the Caspian Pipeline Consortium's infrastructure near Novorossiysk.

Novorossiysk is the largest base of the Russian Navy. The distance by sea from the territory controlled by Ukraine is about 800 km. Thus, we are talking about the longest successful attack by Ukrainians using unmanned boats.

The Interfax-Ukraine agency , citing "sources in the Ukrainian special service," reports: "The Security Service of Ukraine, together with the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, carried out an operation in Novorossiysk Bay, as a result of which the Olenegorsky Miner large landing ship was damaged." Further, the source of the agency is quoted: “The special operation was carried out together with the Navy. As a result of the attack, the Olenegorsk Miner received a serious hole and is currently unable to perform its combat missions. All statements by the Russians about the “repulsed attack” are fake.”

Radio Liberty publishes a satellite image of the Olenegorsky Gornyak large landing ship in the port of Novorossiysk, taken today, August 4, 2023. In the photo, in particular, it can be seen that a dark liquid (possibly fuel or oil) flows out of a ship pressed by a tug to the berth.

The Ukrainian side published a video taken by a camera that was installed on an unmanned boat. This record convincingly proves that the Olenegorsky miner large landing ship was hit.

A source in the Ukrainian special services explains: "The video shows how the surface drone of the SBU, saturated with 450 kilograms of TNT, attacks an enemy ship with about 100 crew members."

Earlier it was reported that explosions were heard in the Crimea. Local authorities claim the operation of the air defense system. Oleg Kryuchkov, adviser to the head of the Crimean occupation administration, said on his telegram channel: "Air defense systems went off in several regions of Crimea. All objects were shot down ... There were no injuries or casualties." The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation states: “An attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack by unmanned aerial vehicles of an aircraft type on objects on the territory of the Crimean peninsula was thwarted tonight. It is not known which objects were the targets of the attack. It should be noted that the Russian Ministry of Defense almost always states that all UAVs over Crimea were shot down or suppressed, but it often turns out later that
