A source at the Kyiv Independent reported on Nov. 6 that Ukraine’s military intelligence agency was behind the drone attack against Kaspiysk, in Russia’s Dagestan Republic. The drone attack targeted a Russian naval facility.

Andrii Kovalenko, the head of the counter-disinformation center at Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, also said on Telegram that a Russian naval base was hit in the attack.
He said that “Russian Navy Ships are Stationed in Kaspiysk.” The base is also home to the Russian Caspian Flotilla as well as Russian Marines, Coastal Troops and Russian Marines.
