Get you up to speed: Russian warship hit by Ukranian drones just miles from coast of Nato member | News World
A Russian warship, the Naro-Fominsk, was attacked in the Gulf of Finland during a drone strike launched by Ukraine’s security service, the SBU, targeting a Kremlin oil export depot. The incident, thought to be the first Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian vessel in this area, occurred early on Wednesday near Suursaari, approximately 28 miles from Finland’s coast.
The attack on the Naro-Fominsk occurred early on Wednesday in a narrow stretch near Suursaari, approximately 28 miles from Finland’s coast. Finland’s military noted it had detected the strike and is actively monitoring the situation, but has not disclosed further details on the incident’s circumstances or detection.
Finland’s military confirmed there is no immediate threat following the attack on the Russian warship Naro-Fominsk, attributing the incident to Russia’s ongoing military actions. In response to increasing drone activity in their airspace, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have issued public warnings for citizens to take shelter and deployed Nato warplanes for surveillance.
What remains unclear — The exact number of prisoners to be swapped between the US and Russia has yet to be announced.

A Russian warship has been attacked in the Gulf of Finland, forcing it to turn back and return to port.
Ukraine’s security service, the SBU, said it targeted the ship Naro-Fominsk during a wider drone strike against a Kremlin oil export depot in the Baltic Sea.
It is thought to be the first time Ukrainian drones have attacked a Russian vessel in an area of the Baltic open to civilian maritime traffic.
Finland’s military said there was no immediate threat and described the incident as being the result of Russia’s continued full-scale war.
‘The Finnish Defence Forces detected… a strike on a Russian warship in the Gulf of Finland area and has monitored the development of the situation,’ a spokesperson said.
The defence forces declined to provide further details about the location or timing of the incident, or how it was detected.

It appears to have taken place in the early hours of Wednesday in a narrow stretch near Suursaari, about 28 miles from Finland’s coast.
The attack came as Donald Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, also the president’s son-in-law, travelled to the Kremlin for talks with Vladimir Putin.
The two then flew to Dublin to meet with Volodymyr Zelensky as Washington sought new momentum for its peace efforts.
The talks produced no major breakthrough, aside from an agreement to swap a large number of prisoners, with the exact figure still to be announced.

Plans for another round of talks were announced as well, with Europe promised a seat at the table, though no details were given about which countries or how many would join.
Ukraine has stepped up strikes on Russia’s oil sites in recent months amid outrage at Putin’s continued targeting of energy infrastructure in defiance of Trump’s demand to halt the attacks.
Kyiv has been sending waves of drones towards Russia’s northwest Leningrad region, which includes the city of St Petersburg as well as the Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga, a major export outlet for commodities such as oil and grain.
Some Ukrainian drones have strayed into the airspace of Finland and the Baltic region, leading to fears that the war is spilling over into Nato countries that border Russia and its ally Belarus.
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania early on Wednesday issued warnings to citizens to take shelter due to drones in their airspace, and Nato scrambled warplanes in response.
The Gulf of Finland is a narrow arm of the Baltic Sea between Finland and Estonia that extends eastwards to St Petersburg.

Get you up to speed: UK police open sex offence probe into comedian and author David Walliams
The Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation into serious sexual offence allegations against British comedian and children’s author David Walliams in London. Walliams, 55, has denied the allegations, stating that he has not broken the law.
The Metropolitan Police have received multiple allegations regarding non-recent serious sexual offences connected to David Walliams, with the allegations dating back to 2003. The investigations by ITV News and The Guardian followed a three-year inquiry involving interviews with over 100 individuals, which culminated in the publication of the reports just days after Walliams lost a legal bid to prevent his identification.
The Metropolitan Police have confirmed they are investigating multiple allegations of serious sexual offences involving David Walliams and urged anyone affected to come forward. In the wake of these allegations, the BBC has removed several of Walliams’ shows from its platform, and his literary agency, Independent Talent Group, announced it is no longer representing him.
What remains unclear — It is uncertain how many allegations are currently under investigation by the police.

The children’s author and comedian denies the sexual assault allegations, says he has not broken the law.

Published On 14 Nov 202614 Nov 2026London’s police have opened an investigation into allegations of serious sexual offences after media reports accused British comedian and children’s author David Walliams of grooming and sexually abusing girls and young women.
Walliams, 55, denies the allegations.
The Metropolitan Police said in a statement on Friday that it “has received a number of allegations of non-recent serious sexual offences involving a man now in his 50s”.
In the statement, Met Police Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney urged anyone affected to come forward.
The Met said the new allegations are separate from those reported this week by ITV News and The Guardian.
The two news organisations published reports on Tuesday that several women had accused Walliams of sexual misconduct, with the allegations dating back as far as 2003.
The reports came out a day after comedian Russell Brand was sentenced to more than 10 years in jail for rape and sexual assault.
Multiple allegations
The Guardian and ITV said they spoke to more than 100 people during a three-year investigation.
One woman said Walliams sexually assaulted her at his London home when she was 15, while others accused him of grooming them as teenagers. The reports also included allegations that he harassed young female colleagues.
In a letter to ITV and The Guardian, he said: “Whilst a power imbalance is inevitable when one party is famous, abusing that power is something else entirely and it is something that I never did.”
He added: “I am not a sexual predator … I have not broken the law.”
The investigative reports were published after he lost a High Court bid to block the media outlets from naming him.
The judge, Matthew Nicklin, said an injunction would be “an exceptionally serious interference” with the media’s rights.
Dropped by BBC, literary agency
A spokesperson for the BBC told the AFP news agency that it had taken down some shows involving Walliams, including all episodes of Little Britain, the comedy sketch show that made him famous.
His literary agency, Independent Talent Group, said it was “no longer representing him in any capacity”.
Walliams’s publisher, HarperCollins, dropped him last year, following accusations that he harassed female staff, which he had also denied.
Walliams rose to fame as a comedian with sketch shows Little Britain and Come Fly With Me. He was also a judge on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent.
He penned children’s books that have reportedly sold more than 50 million copies, including Mr Stink, Gangsta Granny and The Boy in the Dress.
