Ukraine says 'destroyed' Russian ship in underwater drone attack off Crimea
Ukraine has said it used sea drones to attack and destroy a Russian warship in the Black Sea near the Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula. The military intelligence agency, known by its Ukrainian acronym GUR, published a video on Thursday that it said depicted a naval drone attack on the missile-armed corvette Ivanovets the night before. The grainy footage, running about 2 and a half minutes and accompanied by a dramatic soundtrack, showed a number of explosions, and the ship eventually listing to one side. It ended with the vessel sinking stern-first into the sea. "As a result of a number of direct hits to the hull, the Russian ship suffered damage incompatible with further movement," the intelligence agency said in a statement accompanying the video, apparently made up of live feeds from the drones.
