Ukraine’s air force has said it destroyed a Russian navy ship in an air attack on a base in Crimea, saying it suspected the vessel was carrying drones for use in Moscow’s war against Kyiv.
The Novocherkassk, a large landing ship, was “destroyed”, the air force said on the Telegram messaging platform on Tuesday. “People say that it transported Shaheds,” the message added, referring to Iranian explosive drones that Russia has used regularly to attack Ukraine.
The air force did not identify the location of the attack, but commander Mykola Oleshchuk posted a video of an explosion at the Russian naval base of Feodosia, on the Black Sea in Crimea, and said the Novocherkassk had been hit.
