Ukraine Destroys Russian Warship in the Black Sea: Report

May 6, 2022

A Russian frigate is burning off the coast of the Odesa region following a Ukrainian attack, a Ukrainian YouTube channel claimed on Friday.

The Burevestnik warship, known by the NATO reporting name Krivak, was hit by a Ukrainian Neptune torpedo near the Zmiinyi Island (Snake Island), the Odesa & Transport channel claimed.

It said Russian warplanes are circling above the ship, and that Russian vessels from occupied Crimea are moving towards it to rescue the crew.

The island is known for an incident wherein a team of Ukrainian sailors stationed there said the now-famous phrase: “Russian warship, go … yourself!” after Russians urged them to surrender on February 24, the day Moscow invaded Ukraine.
