On 4 August 2023, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ship was reportedly damaged and listing by a joint effort of the Ukrainian SBU and the Ukrainian Navy using a sea drone at the naval base at the port of Novorossiysk.[2][3][4] It was towed to port by the Russian Navy.[5] The UK Ministry of Defence said on 5 August 2023 that the Olenegorsky Gornyak "almost certainly suffered serious damage", and the attack was "a significant blow" to the Russian Black Sea Fleet, which had relocated most of its units to Novorossiysk in response to the Ukrainian threat to its base in Sevastopol in Russian-occupied Crimea.[6]
