Russia confirms damage to warship in Black Sea
Russia has confirmed that one of its warships, the Novocherkassk, was damaged in an attack by Ukraine. The attack occurred at Feodosiya, a port in the Black Sea located in Russian-occupied Crimea, early on Tuesday morning.
The head of the Ukrainian Air Force stated that their warplanes had destroyed the ship. According to Sergei Aksyonov, the Russian-installed head of Crimea, one person was killed in the attack and several others were reportedly injured. Aksyonov also reported that six buildings were damaged and a small number of people had to be relocated to temporary accommodation centres.
The port's transport operations are said to be functioning as normal after the area was cordoned off, and a fire caused by the attack was contained. Footage allegedly showing a massive explosion in the port was shared by Ukrainian air force commander Lt Gen Mykola Oleshchuk. However, the authenticity of these images has not been independently verified. Satellite imagery from 24 December shows a ship at port in Feodosiya that appears to be the same length as the Novocherkassk - a landing ship designed to transport troops, weapons and cargo to shore.
