On Thursday, the Ukrainian navy claimed to have destroyed a Russian troop landing ship docked in the port of Berdiansk, in the south of the country, and controlled by the Russian army.
A statement from the Ukrainian navy claims that it is the landing ship “Orsk” of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy.
“The personnel carrier Orsk has been destroyed in the occupied port of Berdyansk. Glory to Ukraine!” , wrote the navy on its Facebook account.
Along with the message, they published a photograph of a large unscathed ship and two others, from afar, of the smoke in the port and of a burning ship, although it is not possible to clearly distinguish which vessel it is.
Near the city of Berdyansk, two loud explosions were heard at 6.40 local time.
The port of Berdyansk, on the Sea of Azov, is of strategic importance for Russian invaders as a key point for bringing ammunition, military equipment and soldiers to southern Ukraine.
Berdyansk is 70 kilometers southwest of Mariupol, a city currently under siege by the Russians and where heavy fighting has been going on for several days.
In Berdyansk, with a population of 115,000 inhabitants, Russians have encountered protests from the civilian population.
Since February 24, Russia has been waging an invasive war against Ukraine with heavy bombardments from the air and from the sea and heavy artillery attacks.
The attacks have not been limited to military objectives but have also affected residential buildings as well as buildings that served as shelters for civilian personnel.
