Russia has confirmed one of its warships has been damaged in a Ukrainian attack on a Black Sea port.
The airstrike took place at Feodosiya in Russian-occupied Crimea early on Tuesday morning.
Russia’s Ministry of Defence said the large landing ship Novocherkassk was struck by Ukrainian aircraft carrying guided missiles.
The head of the Ukrainian Air Force said earlier its warplanes had destroyed the ship.
One person was killed in the attack, according to the Russian-installed head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov. Several others were reportedly hurt.
Six buildings were damaged and a small number of people had to be taken to temporary accommodation centres, Mr Aksyonov added.
Ignorant question, for what reason does Russia admit to having successfully been attacked? Seems like things they’d want to cover up.
It was a damn big explosion that was pretty well documented by civilians.
Yeah, I guess my question was more just general when we see Russia admit to planes being taken down, tanks lost, etc etc. I suppose I just imagine them denying everything even if the opposition has evidence.
They’ve been relatively on top of ship losses for whatever reason. Probably because it’s harder to brush a big ass warship under the rug.
