  7. Two Kalibr-carrying frigates, a missile ship, a patrol vessel: Ukraine hit four Russian warships in one night at Novorossiysk

    Ukraine carried out the strike at the port where Russia’s Black Sea Fleet sheltered after fleeing Sevastopol.

    euromaidanpress.com/2026/08/12

    Russia pulled its fleet back to Novorossiysk to keep it safe. Ukraine hit it there with 15 kinds of weapons at once

    In 1966 #LarryNiven a SciFi author in #WorldOfPtavvs had #Pluto a moon of Neptune, long previously hit by a spaceship at relativistic speed aimed at #Neptune An artifact protected by a plot device remained on it.

    He would have been aware of that work I think.

    Good story, although the usual elements wouldn't do this century.
