Ukraine has been making increasing use of underwater suicide drones to make up for its lack of navy and target Russian naval ships in the Black sea. On 24/05, the Ivan Kurs was targeted by such USV, although Russia claimed its counter-measure proved effective. On 04/08, the landing ship Olenegorsky Gornyak was damaged in the port of Novorossiysk by one such drone.
On 13/09, a missile strike on the drydocks of the port of Sevastopol damaged a Kilo-class submarine and destroyed the Ropucha-class landing ship Minsk.
This question resolves YES if a ship operated by the Russian Navy is damaged by Ukraine by 15/10. The attack doesn't have to be done by USVs.
For the purpose of this question, small boats such as RHIB do not count.
As usual, I will not be voting on my own markets.

@AviS Okay, with confirmation from the SBU, videos and Rybar I think this is good enough for a yes resolution.
Still no confirmation of damage, although the strikes are intensifying.

Going to wait for confirmation, but Ukraine claims to have damaged two patrol ships of the Russian navy using USV.
