It was recently acquired and used sparingly (it's a pretty costly weapon) by Ukraine.

Shaheed is an Iranian drone widely used by Russia against Ukrainian targets.

Hitting a shipment of Shaheeds, if that's what it was, is a significant victory. Likely eliminated a hundred or so drones, in addition to the ship.
