Ukrainian rockets hit the Russian rocket-propelled grenade launcher Moskva (“Moscow”), Ukrainian authorities said.
“Neptune missiles protecting the Black Sea have caused extensive damage to this Russian ship,” said Maxim Martchenko, the Ukrainian governor of the Odessa region.
Oleksiy Arestovich, an adviser to the Ukrainian presidency, also spoke on YouTube about Ukrainian strikes on the cruiser, without saying what his position was.
“She is on fire. Now. “And with the storm, it is impossible to know if they can help,” he said, adding that “510 crew members are on board.”
These statements cannot be independently verified.
No warship fire has been reported so far by Russian news agencies.
On March 24, a month after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian navy reportedly destroyed the Saratov, a Russian naval barge anchored in the port of Berdyansk, near Mariupol, in the Sea of ​​Azov.
Moscow did not confirm the information that the landing ship was destroyed. The Russian military rarely reports on its casualties in the war.
