on 28 August, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry attacked the Russian missile ship Buyan-M in the Sea of Azov. According to the Ukrainian Defence Ministry's press service, the strike was carried out jointly by the Ukrainian Defence Ministry's Active Measures Department and the special unit "Ghosts".

The special unit's drone damaged the ship's radar system, and the special unit attacked its board, forcing the ship to abandon its combat duty in the Temryutsk Gulf. "The Buyan-M is a carrier of Kalibr cruise missiles.

Buyan-M ships are designed to operate in confined sea areas such as the Black, Azov and Caspian Seas. They are small in size, can navigate navigable rivers and can quickly change basing areas. The upgraded version of the Buyan-M is equipped with eight Kalibr cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,500 kilometres and Onyx anti-ship missiles. The ship's air defence is limited to two "Gibka" anti-aircraft systems, effective only against targets at an altitude of up to 3.5 kilometres.
