Kyiv’s military said its forces supported by military intelligence units have “destroyed” the Russian ship, the Caesar Kunikov, in the Black Sea. “It was in Ukrainian territorial waters near Alupka at the time of the hit,” the military posted on the messaging app Telegram. The targeted vessel, described as “a large Russian landing ship,” took part in Russian military operations in Georgia in 2008. An earlier report from local media outlet Ukrainska Pravda said sea drones had struck and damaged a ship off the Crimean Peninsula. The news organization’s website showed several videos of a column of smoke over the sea off the southern coast of Crimea, with helicopters also seen flying over the area. Meanwhile, Moscow said it had intercepted six Ukrainian drones over the Black Sea, which has become a key battleground in the war, with Kyiv’s forces having escalated attacks there more recently. Ukrainian cruise missiles hit a large Russian landing warship in Crimea in December, killing at least one person.
The Caesar Kunikov amphibious ship sank near Alupka, a city on the southern edge of the Crimean peninsula that Moscow annexed in 2014, Ukraine’s General Staff said. It said the ship could carry 87 crew members.

Thanks to Ukraine Russia has the world biggest submarine fleet.
Russian: Ah… we got them exactly where we want them.
Lots of new dive sites in those waters that will great in a few years 🤔
Taiwan must be taking some hope from these developments.
Target practices 😂 poor poo boy
News like this one confirms that Ukraine is losing.
ils détruisent des maquettes!
Find it hard to believe, sounds to easy.
Hmmm DW seems reluctant to accept the facts.
From a strategic standpoint, how is Russia this inept? It's a lie that this Russian military force could even defend a street corner, let alone a continent. Drones are the Ukrainian navy, and Russia is getting mopped up by gamers playing video games. SO COOL
Anyone feel bad for the tragedy that is Ukraine's Avdiivka defence? The piles of young men dead. Nope, just jokes about some landing ship. Any western leaders for peace or ceasefire? Even if Putin turns calls for ceasefire down, where are the calls? There are none.
Os a bunch of Ukrainian farmers sank a Russian war ship

Please tell me some online English news website so that I can read English news and learn English perfectly.
Watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
Absolutely don't believe on Ukrainian and western media.
Thank you. Keep doing the good work….I hate Putin with all my heart. All the way from Zimbabwe
A remake of a footage from the First World War, it seems.
Ukraine doesn't have a navy. Otherwise they'd all be at the bottom two years ago

If republican congressmen and Europe continues to support Ukraine with arms and supplies, the Ukrainians will win.
Landing craft ain't A warship
😂JUST all talk nothing more.
And Russia just took another city.
It's getting hot now for the Ukrainians at the front.
Wonder why it appears Russian landing ship was not firing on the maritime drones? Seems reckless for Russia to sent a ship in harms way without a reasonable way to defend itself. Definitely complicates Russian logistics.
Gluck Gluck weg war er……
The Crimea will beome a phantastic hotspot for scuba divers . There are a lot of artifical reefs.
Wasn’t Russia using those landing ships to resupply Crimea when the bridge was damaged. If so it threatens the supply and sustainment of Crimea but also strains occupied southern Ukraine. And the one major highway Russia uses for logistics and railroad.
