“The crew of the diesel-electric submarine of the Black Sea Fleet has launched a salvo of Kalibr cruise missiles from the Black Sea against the military infrastructure of the Ukrainian armed forces,” the ministry said on the Telegram messaging app.

The Ukrainian military said a week ago that the Russian fleet was still operating “submarines with missile weapons,” among its two dozen units in the Black Sea.

“Russian forces launched missile and bomb attacks on military and civilian infrastructure, including from strategic bombers, ships and submarines,” the Ukrainian Armed Forces added earlier this week.

“The shooting hit the oil terminal in the village of Zhecha in Russia’s Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine, causing damage, but no casualties,” Regional Governor Alexander Bogomaz said in a statement Saturday.
