On August 2, Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a successful strike against a Russian submarine and an S-400 air defense system in temporarily occupied Crimea.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed the attack on Saturday, August 3.

The operation involved missile units and the Naval Forces of Ukraine, resulting in significant damage to four S-400 “Triumph” launchers. In addition, the attack targeted the Russian Black Sea Fleet submarine “Rostov-on-Don” in the port of Sevastopol. The submarine sank on the spot following the strike.

The “Rostov-on-Don” (NATO classification: Kilo class) is one of four Kilo-class submarines capable of launching “Kalibr” missiles. Commissioned on December 26, 2014, the submarine had sustained severe damage from a previous Ukrainian missile attack on September 13, 2023.
