“Ivan Khurs” was HIT.

“#Ukraine: Yesterday, MoD claimed to foil a Ukrainian attempt to attack the “Ivan Khurs” intelligence ship in the Black Sea with 3x kamikaze uncrewed surface vessels, showing one destroyed by fire from the ship. However, video from sources shows that a USV reached the ship.”

“The extent of the damage (if any) is unclear, but judging by the footage of the USV that was destroyed, it carried a serious explosive charge.”

“South Korean Artillery Supply Allows U.S. to Delay Decision on Cluster Munitions for Ukraine“

“outh Korea is proceeding with the transfer of hundreds of thousands of artillery rounds for Ukraine, a move that U.S. officials said would make Kyiv’s planned offensive against Russian forces effective and allow the White House to delay a fraught decision about whether to supply cluster munitions banned by many countries.

The decision marks a turnabout by Seoul, which had pledged the artillery in November but then balked at providing lethal assistance, following months of U.S. pleas for help as the Pentagon’s own supply of artillery dwindles.

Under the confidential arrangement, South Korea is transferring the shells to the U.S., which in turn has arranged for them to be sent to Ukraine. The White House declined to comment, as did a South Korean government spokesman in Seoul.”

Here is a claim that it (the Ivan Khurs) was hit twice, and that it was a complex attack of two types of drones, including the new "Toloka" class of naval drones.

Tolka claimed to be succesfully tested on Russian ship Ivan Khurs. Together with 2 other surface drones ambushed the ship 100km form bosphorus straits. During this event, one surface drone and TOLKA succesfully intercepted an objective, third one got destroyed.
