The Ukrainian Navy confirmed striking the Russian support vessel Kommuna in the port of the Russian-occupied Sevastopol, Crimea, on 21 April. The ship, launched in 1915, is the oldest in the Russian Navy and the only rescue vessel of its class in the Black Sea.
"Today in Crimea, the Ukrainian Navy hit another ship from the Russian Federation's Black Sea Fleet, the Kommuna. The extent of the damage is being verified. However, it is clear that the ship is now unable to carry out its tasks," the Ukrainian Navy spokesman, Captain 3rd Rank Dmytro Pletenchuk, wrote on Facebook.
