Ukraine's military has reported that it successfully sank a Russian submarine, the Rostov-on-Don, in the port of Sevastopol in Crimea. The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces made the announcement, stating that the submarine was hit in the port and subsequently sank on the spot. This incident marks another setback for Russia in the occupied peninsula.
While the claim has not been independently verified, Ukraine asserts that the sinking of the Rostov-on-Don is part of its ongoing efforts to target Russian naval assets in the Black Sea. The submarine, a Kilo II-class vessel commissioned in 2014, is equipped with Kalibr cruise missiles, which Ukraine views as a threat to its infrastructure.
