Ukraine struck a "Kalibr" carrier in the port of Primorsk

As a result of a joint operation by Ukrainian special services and various branches of the armed forces, a Russian "Karakurt"-class missile boat—which carries "Kalibr" cruise missiles—was successfully struck in the port of Primorsk. In addition, a patrol boat and a tanker belonging to Russia’s shadow oil fleet were damaged. 

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported this in a Telegram post.

Major General Yevhen Khmara reported to the president on significant destruction of the oil terminal’s infrastructure. The operation was carried out by specialists from the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Main Intelligence Directorate, and border guards. These results significantly limit Russia’s military potential at sea and in logistics.

The President also authorized the SBU to carry out additional strikes in response to Russian attacks on civilian targets. It was emphasized that prolonging the war will only lead to an escalation of Ukraine’s defensive operations. Every such strike is a step toward forcing the enemy to cease its aggression.

In the Leningrad region on the night of May 3, the occupiers reported a massive drone attack. According to their reports, air defense forces allegedly shot down dozens of drones.

Ukrainian forces struck two vessels of the Russian shadow oil fleet near the entrance to the port of Novorossiysk. They were being used to transport oil.
