what kind of Iranian ship did Ukraine blow up?

So, basically if I understand this correctly, Iran was sending Shahed Drones and stuff like this for Russia to blow up Ukraine with so this makes perfect sense.
 
begin quotes:
 
Ukraine targeted a sanctioned cargo vessel in the Caspian Sea used for military shipments between Iran and Russia.
Incident Overview
  • Target Type: A sanctioned cargo/commercial vessel.
  • Location: The Caspian Sea.
  • Date: Late July 2026.
  • Casualties: Iran reported one sailor was killed and another injured from an explosion on the ship.
Differing Claims
  • Ukraine's Stance: Stated the long-range drone strikes targeted vessels carrying military cargo and weapons components (such as drone and missile parts) bound for Russia in violation of sanctions, making them legitimate military targets.
  • Iran's Stance: Condemned the strike as a "hostile and criminal act" against a civilian commercial vessel carrying non-military goods, denying involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war.
