Ukraine sinks Russian war ship at Black Sea port

The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Ukraine sinks Russian war ship at Black Sea port” – below is their description.

Ukraine attacked a Russian naval base in Novorossiysk with two maritime drones last night, the Kremlin has said.

Russia’s defence ministry reported: “The unmanned boats were detected and destroyed by fire from the standard weapons of Russian ships guarding the outer harbour of the naval base.”

The strike did not cause any damage or casualties, according to Veniamin Kondratyev, governor of South Russia’s Krasnodar region.

Social media users heard explosions and gunfire near Novorossiysk this morning. If confirmed it would be the first Ukrainian attack on one of Russia’s main commercial ports.

Reports indicate the Black Sea port, a major hub for Russian exports, was forced to halt all ship movement.
