WATCH: Huge Explosion Caused by Successful Ukrainian Missile Strike on Russian Warship
A Ukrainian cruise missile struck a Russian warship in the Black Sea on Monday night, causing an enormous explosion that rocked the surrounding area.
Fox News’ Kitty Logan reported on the notable development off the coast of Crimea:
Russia’s defense ministry has confirmed this very brazen attack on one of its naval landing ships. It was in dock at the time. Ukrainian authorities say they targeted the ship in an air strike. The vessel was hit while in the in the port of Feodosia. That’s on the southeast coast of Russian-controlled Crimea. That attack sparked a huge fireball. You can see how huge that was, visible from a large distance. The size of the blast causing speculation that the ship may have been loaded with weapons at the time. That explosion so powerful, windows shattered in surrounding buildings, killing one person, injuring two others. Russia says the ship is damaged, it’s not yet clear how badly, but hitting a large landing ship like this is a significant victory for the Ukrainian military. It’s not clear exactly what was on board; the vessel is capable of carrying heavy armor like tanks. Here in the U.K., the defense secretary says that Ukraine has destroyed around 20% of Russia’s Black Sea fleet since the start of the war. He believes this latest attack shows there’s no stalemate. But on the front lines, as we know, there’s little substantial progress on either side. The spring offensive has turned into a deadlocked winter, Russia ready to take advantage of any drop in Western backing. But this strike is no doubt a morale boost for the Ukrainian military and a setback for Russia. Whether it changes the outcome of this war is open to question.
Yet another Russian warship is promoted to Spaceship in Crimea.
By invading Ukraine, Putin set out to create a multipolar world and make Russia great again. Instead, it is now a Chinese vassal, fed by North Korean arms, and a multipolar Russia is inevitable.#RussiaIsCollapsing pic.twitter.com/NRDClWd4tG
