A Ukrainian official claims that there was a fire aboard and that other Russian vessels were attempting to assist.

If the claim is true, the attack might be the most powerful strike we’ve seen by Ukraine’s coastal-defence forces.

Measuring 186 metres, the vessel was the lead ship of the Soviet navy’s Project 1164 Atlant class.

It also played a key role during Russia’s military campaign in Syria in 2015.
