Ukraine today claimed that it had destroyed a Russian amphibious ship near Fidonisi in the Black Sea, which became a symbol of Ukrainian resistance to the Russian invasion.
A Bayraktar TB2 unmanned aerial vehicle “It hit a 11770 Serna landing craft, as well as two Tor-type surface-to-air missile systems,” the Ukrainian navy said on Facebook, without giving a date.
“The traditional parade of the Russian fleet on May 9 this year will take place near Fidonisi, at the bottom of the sea”said in an ironic tone the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, in a message on Twitter.
Moscow, for its part, has not confirmed the information.
A video released by the Ukrainian army shows a warship near a pier being hit by an explosion, then engulfed in flames and a dense cloud of smoke rising.
