An abortive attack on the coast of Prussian Pomerania saw the Russian Kronstadt fleet under Admiral Zakhar Danilovich Mishukov bombard Kolberg (modern Kolobrzeg), then land troops and guns. However, the assault was repulsed and the Russians withdrew with the loss of 600 men. Kolberg did not fall to Russian forces until after a lengthy siege the following year.
