Russia’s Yamal large landing ship has suffered critical damage, according to Ukrainian officials. The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine confirmed officially the reports.
On March 23, in Crimea, Ukrainian forces attacked the facilities of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
In particular, they hit the 13th shipyard of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, where, among other things, the Yamal landing ship was moored.
The extent of the damage was not immediately clear. However, the Ukrainian ministry confirmed that the attack was “critical”.
According to Ukraine’s military intelligence, the vessel suffered critical damage: a hole in the upper deck caused it to roll to the starboard side.
“The invaders are continuously pumping water from the damaged ship. The vessel took part in the occupation of Crimea. It was undergoing repairs from 2017 to 2023.
“Other details about the aggressors’ losses as a result of a Ukrainian missile attack against Russian military facilities are being clarified,” the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine said yesterday.
