Drone strike targets major Russian shipbuilding enterprise on Baltic Sea - photos, videos

Residents reported a fire on the enterprise's territory as a dry cargo ship caught fire, he wrote.

Exilenova+ Telegram channel published a photo of the damaged vessel in the port at the Vyborg Shipyard, one of Russia's key shipbuilding enterprises specializing in the construction of civilian ice-class vessels and offshore equipment.

The photo likely shows the Purga patrol icebreaker, a Project 23550 vessel, whose completion was planned to be transferred to the Admiralty Shipyards, the Telegram channel wrote.

The Admiralty Shipyards were previously considered a site for completing the Purga patrol icebreaker, now under construction at the Vyborg Shipyard for the Russian FSB border service.

Drones attacked Leningrad Oblast overnight on March 25. A fire was reported at the Ust-Luga port, which, alongside the recently attacked Primorsk, is the second-largest Russian oil export hub on the Baltic Sea.
