In the evening, Kyiv reported the shelling of a Russian warship in the Black Sea. The ship caught fire as a result of the detonation. According to Moscow, more than 500 sailors have been evacuated.
According to information from Moscow, the crew of the Russian missile cruiser “Moskva” (“Moscow”) has been completely evacuated after an incident.
The Black Sea Fleet ship was also badly damaged by the “detonation of ammunition as a result of a fire”, the Russian agency TASS reported on Thursday night, citing the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The cause of the fire is being investigated, it said. A few hours earlier, it had been said from Kyiv that the missile cruiser had been hit by a Ukrainian anti-ship missile. The warship has a crew of more than 500 sailors, Ukrainian presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych said in an interview on Wednesday.
The “Moskva” is said to have been involved, among other things, in the conquest of the Ukrainian island of snakes at the beginning of the war almost seven weeks ago. Advisor to Ukraine’s Interior Minister Anton Herashchenko, in a social media post, suggested that the warship was hit by a Neptun missile. The Ukrainian in-house development has a range of 280 kilometers.
