Russia confirms damage to warship in Black Sea Russia has verified one of its warships has been damaged in a Ukrainian attack on a Black Sea harborage. The airstrike took place at Feodosiya in Russian- enthralled Crimea beforehand on Tuesday morning. Russia’s Ministry of Defence said the large wharf boat Novocherkassk was struck by Ukrainian aircraft carrying guided dumdums. The head of the Ukrainian Air Force said before its warplanes had destroyed the boat.
Several others were reportedly hurt. Six structures were damaged and a small number of people had to be taken to temporary accommodation centres, Mr Aksyonov added. The harborage’s transport operations are said to be performing as normal after the area was cordoned off, while a fire caused by the attack was contained. Ukraine denies Russian prisoner of crucial city near Donetsk.
Ukraine celebrates first Christmas on 25 December Footage purportedly showing a huge explosion in the harborage was participated by Ukrainian air force commander Lt Gen Mykola Oleshchuk. The images haven’t been singly vindicated. still, satellite imagery from 24 December shows a boat at harborage in Feodosiya that appears to be the same length as the Novocherkassk- a wharf boat designed to transport colors, munitions and weight to shore.
Any significant damage to the boat will be a welcome bit of good news for Ukraine, with waning Western support now affecting its front- line operations. Given that the Novocherkassk was in wharf, it’s largely likely it was being loaded with dogfaces, outfit or both. Taking it out of action, indeed if only temporarily, will no doubt hinder Russia’s capability to supply colors in home it occupies further north. What’s lower clear is how long its operations will be disintegrated for and what impact this strike will have on the frontal lines.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s air force has denied that Russia shot down two of its Su- 24 bombers about 125 km( 77 long hauls) from the engaged Ukrainian megacity of Mykolaiv. It has also lately denied a claim by Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu that his colors have seized the crucial city of Mariinka in eastern Ukraine. The area has been used by Ukraine as a protective hedge since 2014,
When Russian- backed fighters seized large swathes of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Tuesday’s attack on Feodosiya isn’t the first time that the Novocherkassk has been targeted by Ukrainian forces. In March 2022, Ukraine’s defence ministry reported that the boat had been damaged in an attack on the engaged Ukrainian harborage of Berdyansk in which another amphibious assault boat, the Saratov, was sunk.
the Black Sea last time. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fooled that he was” thankful” to the country’s air force” for the emotional loss of the Russian submarine Black Sea line with another vessel,” in reference to other Russian vessels that have been sunk during the war. ” The occupiers won’t have a single peaceful place in Ukraine,” he said. Russia seized and adjoined the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine in 2014 and its forces grounded there played a crucial part in the full- scale irruption of Ukraine in February 2022.
Last month, Ukraine’s service said it had destroyed 15 Russian cortege vessels and damaged another 12 in the Black Sea since the launch of Russia’s war. After a bullet strike on the headquarters of the Black Sea line in Sevastopol last September, satellite images showed that the Russian cortege had moved much of its Black Sea line down from Crimea to the Russian Black Sea harborage of Novorossiysk. The dominance of the Russian cortege has been lowered to an extent as result of similar attacks, but this time has seen Moscow keep hold of the home it occupies, despite a Ukrainian counterattack.
