Kremlin confirms Russian warship hit by Ukrainian strike

SpaceWar.com reports: “The Kremlin on Tuesday acknowledged a Ukrainian attack had damaged a warship in the occupied Crimean port of Feodosia in what Ukraine and its Western allies called a major setback for the Russian navy.

Ukraine said its air force destroyed the Novocherkassk landing ship, with President Volodymyr Zelensky joking on social media that the vessel had now joined ‘the Russian underwater Black Sea fleet’.

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu informed ‘about the damage to our large landing ship’ to President Vladimir Putin in ‘a very detailed report’, the president’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists.

Russia’s defence ministry said that the ship was damaged by guided aerial missiles.

Ukraine’s military said its air force destroyed the Russian naval ship in a missile attack on the eastern Crimean port.

The Ukrainian defence ministry wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that the ‘Novocherkassk landing ship was destroyed in Feodosia tonight’.

It published an unattributed photo showing flames and smoke in a port at night…”
