The recent efforts of US President Donald Trump to conclude a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine have given no results. The two countries continued to launch military attacks against each other, the last being a Moscow drone strike on the recognition ship of the Ukrainian navy Simferopol. The largest ship commanded by kyiv in more than a decade, sank on Thursday, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday.
The ship designed for radio, electronics, radar and optical recognition was affected in the Danube River Delta, part of which is in the Odesa region of Ukraine, according to Russia today.
The Russian state agency, TASS, said that it was the first successful use of a shot of maritime drones on a ship of the Ukrainian navy, which was a medium -sized ship in Laguna.
The news of the affected ship was also confirmed by the Ukrainian authorities. However, they did not say how the attack was carried out. Civil servants also do not call the ship either provided details on its status.
“The efforts to deal with the consequences of the attack is underway. The majority of the crew is safe, and the search for several missing sailors continues,” the Ukrainian navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk said kyiv Independent.
A crew member was killed in the attack while several others were injured, the Ukrainian media kyiv Independent said citing a spokesperson for the Ukrainian navy.
Launched in 2019, the ship (Simferopol) joined the Ukrainian navy two years later. It was the largest ship that kyiv succeeded in more than a decade. Armed with an AK-306 30 mm artillery system, the ship was designed for radio, electronics, radar and optical recognition.
