Russia: Evacuated warships after explosion

NEW YORK / OSLO (Dagbladet): It reports the Russian news agency Interfax night to Thursday, according to Reuters.

Russia says that the warship “Moscow” is seriously damaged after an ammunition explosion. Russia says the crew of “Moscow” has been evacuated. The cause of the fire that led to the explosion is being investigated, writes Reuters.

The Ukrainian governor of the Odesa region, Maksym Marchenko, previously claimed in a message on his Telegram account that Ukrainian missiles had hit the Russian warship “Moscow” in the Black Sea.

– Go to hell

The information has not been confirmed by independent sources.

According to BBC it was the warship “Moscow” which on the first day of the invasion was asked to “go to hell” by Ukrainian border guards on Slangeøya – a strategically important island in the Black Sea.

– It has been confirmed that the missile cruiser “Moscow” today went exactly where it was sent by our border guards on Slangeøya, writes Marchenko, and claims at the same time that the Ukrainian attack has caused the warship “very serious damage”.

According to a spokesman for the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, Anton Gerashenko, one of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s advisers, Oleksiy Arestovych, also confirmed that the warship had been hit.

Fire

Gerashenko has also shared a photo on his Telegram account which he claims shows the warship on fire. It has later been shown to stem from an incident in 2021 – and is another ship.

Earlier on Wednesday, Arestovych said a fire had been reported on board the ship and that Russian rescue workers had not been able to reach it, according to the BBC.

According to the adviser, there may have been a crew of up to 510 on board.
