TL;DR

A Russian Navy Kilo-class submarine, used to launch Kalibr cruise missiles, was hit by a missile strike in Rostov-on-Don, Ukraine. The submarine suffered extensive damage, with images showing the outer casing peeled back and evidence of fires and water damage inside. Despite the Russian Ministry of Defense's claims, it is unlikely that the submarine will be repaired due to the high cost and time involved. The shortage of dry dock spaces in the Black Sea has also been exacerbated by this incident.
