A Russian source is saying the Moskva has sunk and that the explosion was from a Ukrainian Neptun missile strike. Apparently, Ukraine flew a TB2 UCAV to distract the ship while it was targeted by the Neptun. The ship rolled onto its side after the strike.
The Russian MoD said the ship's crew has been evacuated. Ukrainian sources previously claimed that the Moskva was struck by a Ukrainian Neptun anti-ship missile.
Thus far in the war, the Russian Navy has lost one large landing ship, another large landing ship sustained damage, a Raptor patrol boat was struck by an ATGM, and now the Black Sea Fleet's flagship has sustained "serious damage" likely a result of a Ukrainian strike.
