A big Russian amphibious ship, the Caesar Kunikov, has sunk off the coast of Russian-occupied Crimea, according to Ukraine's armed forces.
Powerful explosions were heard early on Wednesday, according to local social media, which suggested the landing ship was hit south of the town of Yalta.
Ukraine's intelligence directorate released video of what it said were Magura V5 sea drones striking the ship.
Ukraine has repeatedly hit Russia's Black Sea fleet in occupied Crimea.
Satellite images last year showed much of the fleet had left the peninsula for the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk.

All hands lost I assume? What do Russian families think when their loved ones in the military just stop responding one day. He went to a better place? lol.
They recieve blood money from Putin as a payment and continue to support him. Disgusting? Yes.
US needs to issue a new statement of what they’ll do if russia uses a nuke,
@9CJ6CB62yrs2Y
If we do that they may be more prompted to do so. Geopolitics is a VERY delicate thing, it can literally be turned by a photo with the wrong person, or the wrong phrasing in a response. It’s all in how something is done or said, so whatever we do, we should remain on the condemnation side rather than the threatening side. If someone just blew threats at Russia on the national stage you’d get a talking to from both the entire advisory committee in the White House, and a personal stern talking to by either the Secretary of State or the literal president in the wrong circumstances. If we make any threats at all, we tread extremely carefully, but even mentioning nukes might bring that up and then into question.
As if they would only use one nuke

Good. If I remember correct this ship was also extensively used to supply Assad’s nazi force in Syria.
