Kyiv: Ukraine claims to have destroyed a Russian warship in the occupied port of Berdynsk.
According to details, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said in a statement that the attack on the Russian ship at the occupied port of Berdyansk was successful.
Ukrainian officials say their attack destroyed a Russian landing ship in the coastal city and damaged two other ships.
The Ukrainian military released footage early Thursday, saying the Russian ship had been targeted by its forces, but the BBC said details of the cause of the explosion and fire on the Russian ship were contrary to Ukrainian claims. Are not clear

Russian military TV last week called the arrival of the warship Orsk in Berdynsk a “major event” because it was the first Russian warship to dock there.
A drone footage filmed by Russian state TV reporter Murad Gazdeev was released, showing armored vehicles unloading from the warship at the port.
