As outcome of the action, while retaining naval superiority in Black Sea, the Soviet Navy's surface ships focused more in amphibious operations and ground support during the Siege of Odessa.

Mines laid by Soviet destroyers Smyshlyony and Bodry sank the Hungarian merchant Ungvár (961 GRT) on 9 November.

When the Romanian motor torpedo boat Viforul and Vijelia sailed to attempt rescuing the ship, both were lost either to mines or the merchant's explosion.

Three main raids were attempted but were hampered by effective Axis intercept stations that alerted most merchants in the area to the Soviet naval presence.

While minelaying operations inflicted some losses in 1941, they were not repeated the following year and three subsequent raids failed to intercept Axis shipping.
