Why exactly is this a "terrorist act"? Aren't they at war?

I guess this is what lower tier navies use in place of torpedoes and cruise missiles.
i, myself, have also wondered at the choice of words used by Russian leadership to describe this and other negative results during their invasion.
in the best case for the Russians, it may be a translation of whatever word was actually used into a nuance and the translator chose the word "terrorist".
for the flip side of that, Russian leadership may have used that exact word however, history shows that Russian leadership thinks differently than those citizens who reside west (or east) of their geopolitical location.
when i was serving, we referred to that difference as "Klingons and Romulans" reasoning.
