Ukraine says it has sunk another Russian warship in Black Sea drone attack – in fresh blow to Putin’s forces
Ukrainian forces have destroyed another Russian warship off the southern coast of occupied Crimea, Kyiv’s military reported on Wednesday, in its latest drone attack on Moscow’s Black Sea fleet.
The Ukrainian intelligence services (GUR) posted a video said to show multiple naval drones attacking the 90-person, 113m-long Caesar Kunikov Ropucha-class landing ship in the early hours of Wednesday. It is another embarrassing blow for Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Black Sea fleet, and a significant success for Ukraine.
“The Ukrainian Armed Forces, together with the Defence Ministry’s intelligence unit, destroyed the large landing ship,” a statement from the GUR read. “It was in Ukrainian territorial waters near Alupka at the time of the hit.”
