Ukraine seems to have hit a submarine and a landing craft in their attack on Crimea, per OSINT.

MOSCOW, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Russia said on Friday that Ukraine had fired a missile towards Moscow and attacked the Crimean Peninsula with 42 drones, one of the biggest known coordinated Ukrainian air attacks to date on Russian-held territory. Russia's defence ministry said it had shot down a modified S-200 missile over the Kaluga region, which borders the Moscow region. "The missile was detected and destroyed by air defences over the territory of the Kaluga region," the defence ministry said. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage from the attacks, which Russia blamed on Ukraine. The attack were the latest in a surge of similar attacks since two drones were destroyed over the Kremlin in early May.
