In specific the small missile corvettes Karakurt and Buyan-M were identified, suggesting that these ships were used to launch Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities on Feb. 7, the partisans said.
The ships are part of the 41st Missile Boat Brigade of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, said Atesh. These vessels were previously transferred from Sevastopol to Novorossiysk after successful strikes by the Ukrainian forces. However, they continue to be involved in attacks on peaceful cities.
Atesh declared the intention to engage in a retaliatory strike against the boats, with its agents participating. Full information has already been relayed to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
