Ukraine sinks Russian warship in the Black Sea

Ukraine has released dramatic footage of sea drones sinking a Russian warship in the Black Sea overnight.

The drones were filmed homing in on the Ivanovets, a Tarantul-class missile corvette, over choppy waters as the Russian sailors on board fired a hail of bullets at them.

They struck the ship’s hull multiple times, causing heavy damage which eventually sank the vessel.

“As a result of a number of direct strikes to the hull, the Russian vessel sustained critical damage causing immobilization – it heaved aft and sank,” Ukraine’s Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (GUR) said.

Russia has not commented on the incident and the numbers of casualties and survivors are not known.
