33 minutes ago:
Russia’s defence ministry has put out a statement to say its Moskva missile cruiser has sunk in the Black Sea off southern Ukraine. It is still unclear whether the ship was hit by Ukrainian weaponry.
The ship is believed to have experienced significant damage and was thought to be heading to Sevastopol, Crimea, before it succumbed.
Russia earlier claimed it had experienced damage as a result of an ammunition fire on board. The crew were evacuated. Ukraine claimed the ship has sunk, Russia denied it, then came reports that Russia was towing its ships further out to sea, perhaps to take them out of Ukrainian missile range.
The Moskva was apparently under tow when it sank.
Russia only has three of this flagship class of warship, which have crews of almost 500 sailors.
