Russia loses another warship in the Ukraine war. Kiev claims the attack as its own – the action was probably very well prepared.
Russia has repeatedly struggled with heavy losses in theUkraine war. Numerous warships are also affected. In many cases the Black Sea Fleet has been affected. But there are also exceptions. Just a few days ago, Ukraine claimed an attack in the Baltic Sea. The rocket ship “Serpukhov” is said to have been badly damaged near the town of Pillau in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. Shortly afterwards, Ukrainian military intelligence HUR announced that the missile ship had been decommissioned due to a fire “on the territory of an enemy naval base” It would take a long time until combat capability was restored, it was said at the time. If the attack is confirmed, it would be another bitter loss for Russia. Above all, the incident would be embarrassing for the new naval chief Alexander Moiseyev. The 61-year-old was only confirmed as commander-in-chief at the beginning of April.
